About Me

I have friends and family who are seasoned couch surfers and who rave about couch surfing as a great way to meet new people and discover new places. I travel a lot with my work and love spending time exploring the places in which I stay. I want to meet the local people and hear their stories and share some of mine as I consider this a more rewarding experience and a great way to learn and gather stories.

When I am home I love riding my bike and discovering new routes, getting lost in the process.

philosophy: 'the only constant is change'
