Grew up in South Florida, which is really like growing up in the North. Went to college in North Florida, which is really like living in the South. Moved to Colorado, which is really full of mountains and snow and greenery. Moved to Hungary, which is full of all sorts of stuff I love. Moved to Georgia. Moved to Japan. Moved to Vietnam. Moved all over the damn place. With a dog!

My dog's name is Tupac. She's the bee's knees.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve made some really good friends and even changed my whole life and moved abroad for the first time because of someone I met. One summer I hosted so many people heading for Georgia that I took it as a sign and Moved to Tbilisi! It would be a understatement to say that CS has changed my life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met lots of cool people that I wouldn't have met without couch surfing. I’ve hosted over 150 people and pretty much turned my flats in Budapest and Tbilisi into “Couchsurfing havens.”

Right now, I have a huge couch, office, or rooftop garden with hammock that can accommodate travelers. Plenty of space to share for even groups, no worries.
