Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to meet some couchsurfers while I'm on the road. When I'm back in Seattle, or wherever I end up, I'd be happy to bring in some fun people as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just graduated from college and plan to do a bit of travelling. Haven't couchsurfed yet but I hope that changes soon!

*Update* Surfing for the first time in Roatan, Honduras. Having a great time with my host Alejandra! :) Off to Costa Rica soon though!

Interests

I've worked in technology but I spent the past 2 years of my life absorbed in ideas stretching from philosophy to fashion to genetic engineering. I'm passionate about taking care of our planet and our people. You'll find me chatting up strangers on buses and airplanes. I love stories in all forms.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a train ride from Long Beach, CA I met a Nicaraguan immigrant who shared his story with me for the next hours.

I've been humbled by strangers in all places who have offered their unsolicited help when I've been lost.
