I like my coffee black and my puns intended.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply hoping to find some human connection as I travel. The most memorable part of my journeys is always the people I meet along the way. Sometimes the stars align and new friends just drop into one's lap spontaneously. Other times, traveling solo can be quite alienating, as I'm not the type that easily strikes up conversations with total strangers. That's where you come in!

Interests

In no particular order: losing myself in the mountains, leisurely mornings spent reading in cafes, a game or two of chess, capturing the world on film, cooking up something delicious and soul-soothing, wine in the park, conversations that carry on until dawn, letting out my inner freak on the dance floor.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I can share: a simple meal cooked with love, spirited conversation, and good books that need a new home. I would also be happy to shoot your portrait on film and send you a print when I develop the roll!
