I suffer from immense curiosity, and I pick up new interests and passions at an alarming rate. My biggest passions are people, poetry, and food. So as you can imagine, traveling and connecting with other cultures is as good as it gets for me. I am not religious, but I try to follow the taoist philosophy of living. I love hearing about other's religious beliefs and world views. I'm known to stay up to all hours discussing anything from YouTube cat videos to exstentialism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After 2 years of hard work and planing, I finally made it back to Europe. My first time here I traveled alone and stayed only in hostels and hotels. While this experience was one of the best of my life, I left wishing I had the chance to meet more people who actually lived in the cities I was visiting. Others I met while traveling suggested trying couchsurfing, so here I am.
