I'm a friendly and open-minded person. Every day I try to push myself out of my comfort zone and expose myself to new ideas.

I can find happiness by reading a book or hiking up a mountain, it just depends on the day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people from all across the globe never gets old. So far I have stayed with hosts in Togo, Ethiopia, Poland, Serbia, Portugal, and France. My roommate and I also hosted several surfers in San Francisco.

I recently moved to France and I'm hoping to practice the language as much as possible!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While barefoot and wearing only a pair of sweatpants I chased a bag thief through the streets of Saigon, and I got the bag back!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm looking forward to sharing perspectives with the people I meet! Catching a glimpse of how other people live has always been fascinating to me.
