Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet amazing people and explore new environments with the local experts that live there, establish and expand our webs of global connection, and do the same whenever someone wants a guided grand time in my neck of the woods.

Interests

Reading & writing, listening and playing music, going to concerts and house shows, hosting parties and house shows, traveling and exploring both historical sites and modern marvels, eating and drinking, hiking and camping, movies, video games, and computing, and really just new experiences.
