ABOUT ME

I grew up in Texas in an international household, with roots spreading to extended family in Europe and South America. This early exposure to mixing cultures leaves its mark to this day - travel remains my favorite pastime.

Despite having a tendency to wander my family, culture, and close friends are the things I always return home to.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open, honest, try new things, and treat people with kindness.

Spontaneity is of utmost importance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing the joys of my hometown and swapping life lessons.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Staying with others and hosting with CS has been a remarkable and influential experience. The more I take part the more I want to spread the word.

Interests

Probably the thing I enjoy most (and particularly what draws me to CouchSurfing) is engaging people in long, honest conversations: I'm always startled how people reach similar conclusions on life & love by traveling widely different paths to get there.

Reading, music, web development, athletics, art, and history are other notable interests.
