Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is better when we share it. As I near a decade on Couchsurfing, my commitment to creating meaningful connections while making it easier for all people to travel this planet only gets stronger. Couchsurfing comes from a place of believing in the inherent good and wild stories of all.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted a few times in college, and now have a new place in an awesome town - so come surf the couch!

I love showing off this City and will make sure you get to see it all. Be ready to walk, hike, cycle, swim, and eat your way through.

Interests

Exploring cities, building community, and adventuring in the great outdoors from paddling to running, backpacking to cycling.

Dig playful urban art, culture jamming, and making government work better for people.

Always down to explore organizations, design, cities, and storytelling.
