About Me

I'm a community organizer that loves to travel and meet people from all around the world. I love to go on adventures, try new foods, and wander until I'm lost and then found again.

I believe I can learn something from everyone I meet. I am grateful for my friends around the world--from Japan to Brazil to Israel--and hope to meet more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to connect with people from the communities I am able to visit. I hope to share stories and new experiences that I otherwise would miss out on if I didn't couchsurf.
