A few months ago I quit my job to travel abroad for a year. It's something I've always dreamed of, and also something a little bit intimidating and scary which made it feel that much more important to do. It has been an amazing experience so far, but I'm missing the deeper connections -- more than just the "where are you from, where are you headed" but also the "tell me something you regret, something you're afraid of, something you want to do this year." So let's grab lunch, go for a hike, sit in a park, have a drink, and talk about our experiences in this world.

I'm cheerful and down to earth, sometimes overthinking, always trying to learn and grow and be better. I love eating and hiking and meeting new people. Not much of a partier, I'd rather be up early to go explore. I get joy from puns, nature, learning new skills, and listening to life stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people -- locals and expats and travelers alike. To share an experience and expand our worldviews.
