I'm an easygoing traveler who enjoys meeting new people and exploring new places. I try to live intentionally, without persisting in existing habits just because they are easy. I'm friendly, relaxed, and slightly nerdy. Sometimes I can be a bit absent minded. My favorite memories usually involve good food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love how Couchsurfing allows you to get a taste of life as a local. My first experience was traveling in Canada, where I surfed in Montreal and Toronto. Since then I've surfed in Texas, Italy and New Orleans. Everyone's been really welcoming!

Interests

I love making and eating good food, hiking in beautiful places and napping in the sun. A little rock climbing in between might be nice.
