About Me

I love traveling, backpacking, hiking, biking..... basically outdoor activities. I have a lot of hobbies that I’m bad at but enjoy like playing piano, guitar, yoga, skateboarding, knitting, dancing and skiing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started couchsurfing in 2011. I travelled Europe and stayed with cool people. I hosted in Phoenix. I hung out in Nicaragua. I tried to find my old couchsurfing profile but couldn’t. I have had all great experiences with couchsurfing and I believe it’s the path to world peace.
