I love travel primarily for current culture: food, night life, people, festivals and of course People. I'm not big on museums and sights although I love photography and carry my cameras everywhere and will hit a tour bus to get the "lay of the land." I'm easy going and thoughtful and love great conversation ( not gossip) about almost any subject. I'm sure when we meet we'll lots to discuss and share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to learn about a place is through the people that live there not a concierge or tour guide. AirBnB and the like do not offer the same experience.
