How to say my name? I tell people to say it like: "Pie...yum"

I'm born and raised in California, a '90s kid, clean, mellow, and easy going. I'm not much of a drinker, so I choose a good nights sleep over club hopping. I'm trying out CS for the first time after hearing good things from fellow travelers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to see new areas from a local's perspective
