About Me

Curious and adventurous, I love meeting new people in new places. I love to travel the world and share new and meaningful experiences with new friends and old friends.

Deep conversations and meaningful experiences are my life currency.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Long overlay on my next trip (over 12 hours long) - thought I could spend the time making a new friend and having great conversations over good food.
