I'm a happy, travel loving, cake baking and marinara sauce creating compassionate, cynical optimist trying to live as vividly as possible and that includes traveling whenever we can.
My son loves to see new places and nap in his ergo while we wander around.
I write for and am editor of ICitizenMag.com, which has travel articles if you would like to read them. Studying (go swift!) and raising my 2 year old old son currently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love finding interesting places to stay as a better way to enjoy immersion travel. I love the idea of seeing places through locals' eyes, of getting the chance to have conversations with so many different people.
Also, It's a great joy of mine to write about travel and I am hoping Couchsurfing will allow for that unlike anything else.
