Traveling is my passion - never do I feel more free and independent than when I'm exploring the streets of a new city. I am a minimalist when it comes to travel, only taking the bare essentials and little else. I also enjoy immersing myself in the local culture - you'll find me trying to order (in the local language) a local delicacy, not at a chain restaurant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Peru, my friends and I met up with a local musician in Cusco who gave us a city tour and invited us to his concert at a local bar later that night!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen the Northern Lights on a country road outside of Akureyri, Iceland, with my two German travel companions.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning Mandarin Chinese and German, so I'm always happy to practice language skills! And if you're into hiking, I can do my best to teach you a little about the geology of the area.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some good stories over a good beer (or three)!
