I just turned 30 and realized that I need to pursue more experiences, travel, meet new people. I am not too well traveled but when I have , I have usually traveled solo and loved connecting with local people! I find it authentic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel authentically, get to know people and their culture, experiences and stories! Staying at a hotel looks and feel the same wherever you go. I like to travel to get the local experience. Perhaps one day, when I have my own place, I can host people too.

Interests

I'm interested in good conversation with great people, and maybe a couple of beers. I love food and try to balance healthy eating with all kinds of foods. I regularly practice gratitude, and am trying to get more yoga and meditation in my life.
