I'm a curious existentialist figuring out where I fit in the world. I'm interested in geography, world cultures, sustainability/circular economy, upcycled/natural art, and cats. I like walking/hiking and exploring new neighborhoods (especially their food offerings).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sonder. I love learning about different cultures, how people live, and how we are all connected.
