I love meeting people, creating connections, and hearing their stories. The best part of visiting a new city or country is delving into the culture and stepping outside of your box.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A cool way to meet people and experience a new city from the perspective of a local. When I travel, yes I want to see the beautiful touristy things but also experience how people live in that place.

I have been treated with so much kindness and warmth during my travels that I would love to give back. Although I get some people prefer more independence and solitude during their travel experiences, couchsurfing is such a groovy way of sharing a space and learning from a person with a different background and life. So I welcome any opportunity to do that with surfers!

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything with some soul (meaning motown, folk, classical, funk, alternative, indie, flamenco, rock, anything...just need to feel it!) or a good percussion to move my hips to.

Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham and Immortality by Milan Kundera

Too many movies to count; I'm a total cinephile.
