Laid back travel junkie. I mostly prefer to plan things at the last minute. Adventure waits for nobody!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's been highly recommended to me by so many friends, and I'm always up for a chance to get to meet people in their real lives. The whole point of travel is to get to know different ways of living, and you just can't get that staying in a hotel or hostel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, laughter, and a little bit of added security for the night (that's the martial arts talking ;)). Also, I find 4 leaf clovers a lot...I probably have a few on me that I'd be happy to give you if you ask.
