Active and laid back. Progressive and reserved. Silly and serious. Spontaneous and deliberate. It just depends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find couchsurfers to be the best guests and conversationalists. They always give me a fresh perspective on my stomping grounds and they renew my enthusiasm for travel. I know that traveling can be very expensive and I like helping couchsurfers afford to throw darts at the map.

Eclectic. These days I'm into Edith Piaf, Gloria Estefan, Maroon 5, Mumford and Sons, and Yma Sumac.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ended up "sleeping" (read: huddling in fear, clutching my walking stick in the dark) on the side of a dormant volcano in Costa Rica because I didn't plan my hike well enough. Perhaps not "amazing", but a great story now!
