I believe deeply that conversation is an art, and I love the chance to meet new people to gain a better understanding of the world around me. I love to eat and try new things. I enjoy being outside as much as possible, whether I'm running, gardening, backpacking or just kind of lounging.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nothing feels better than a sense that you have someone on your side, rooting for your happiness; other than, perhaps, being able to offer that same feeling to someone else. To couch surf and meet people who know their world and can help give you a better understanding of it and invite you in offers that sort of comfort that a hotel can not. Community. What a lovely world we live in!
