I dig around to find the less touristy gems and haunts of the locals when I travel and I eat anything. I love meeting new people and hearing their wildest stories. I want to collect everyone's experiences so that whenever someone tells me that something isn't possible, I can say "Well actually, I know this one awesome person who..." and maybe inspire them to think differently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an avid solo traveler who loves striking up conversations with people from all over the world. I think we all have a lot to learn from each other and that great ideas come from sharing insights.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I fell down an entire flight of stairs and managed to land on my feet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love trading books with people! If you want a new book to read and want to share a book of yours in return, let me know and I'll bring a good book along.

I can share recipes (and cook for hosts), read tarot cards, and clean up after myself.
