I love meeting new people, traveling to new places, and testing new foods. I am new to CS, but have meet many folks while traveling who swear by it so here we go!

I am an amateur but successful hunter and cultivator of mushrooms. I bike when possible. I make a mean Peruvian ceviche. Raised on Tolkien.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that couch surfing has a great potential to connect people who otherwise would never have met. It allows you to view the world through many different eyes and lifestyles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked to Choqukirao, an amazing Incan ruin similar to Machu Picchu but a four day hike from civilization and thus largely unknown and unvisited. I spent hours scrambling over ancient ruins utterly alone.

Teach, Learn, Share

Master of no one skill, I have a trove of potentially useless trivia in my head spanning many topics of conversation. I love discussing history, mycology, travel, and life lessons.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation and a smile 😁

I'd love to cook with or for you; I'm no chef but sharing food is a passion.
