Ex-teacher turned full-time wanderer 🌍
Lover of nature, animals, music, books, and getting lost on purpose (and sometimes by accident).
I play sports to stay sane, travel to stay curious, and talk to kids because they make the most sense.
Currently on a mission to explore the world one backpack and belly laugh at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Backpacker. Because I believe the best way to understand a place is through the people who live there (and maybe through their snacks). Plus, nothing beats awkward small talk that suddenly turns into lifelong friendship.
