I like to chase novelty and adrenaline-- which is why I enjoy traveling so much, but when I'm at home that manifests itself in hosting costumed murder mystery parties, participating in scavenger hunts, eating at new restaurants, discovering funky parties, and experiencing something culturally stimulating.

I believe a stranger is a friend you haven't made yet, looking at the bright side of things, and that we're here for a good time, not a long time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The people I've meet are the most memorable parts of my travel adventures. I use couchsurfing to meet locals and to experience daily life through their eyes.
