Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting with locals in the places i visit for exchange of culture, food, ideas, and love.

It's a cheap way to travel that allows me to plug in to the local life and avoid only doing tourist things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I mushed dogs for most of my youth. I spent 5 weeks in remote parts of the Andes catching torrent ducks. I lived in Spain for a year when I was 12.
