Music, travel and reading are my greatest pleasures in life. I am lucky enough to work for a company that allows frequent travel, and I always try to plan some solo time while I'm there to take full advantage of being in a foreign place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel for work conferences and end up staying on for several days afterward. But I'm often on my own, and staying in a hotel or even a hostel can get a bit lonely.
I'd love to meet locals that can show me the best music spots and places to eat! I'm not very interested in tourist attractions, I just want to go on adventures and experience every day life as if I were a local.

Snorkeling off the coast of Thailand was definitely the most beautiful.
