Hi there! I absolutely love to travel. I try to go to three new countries a year, and prefer off the beaten path experiences. However, as we all know, it is not always about where you are, but who you are with!
Another reason why I travel is to EAT! Connecting with new cultures via food is my favorite human experience to date.

My spirit animal? Judge Judy.
I am an extraverted introvert, and enjoy both cityscapes and nature escapes. Want to know anything else? Just ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a budget travel, so I should have joined this site years ago! Mainly, I am here to create experiences and enjoy life.
