About Me

ABOUT ME

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to local CS parties, dinners, and barhops as often as possible to connect in my community and see what other people are doing with life and where they've been.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've mostly surfed in Mexico, and every time it has been surprising how similar we are as people of very different nations.

Interests

I love science fiction. I enjoy writing and thinking. Exploring is in my blood and takes the form of hiking, road trips, and riding public transit.
