ABOUT ME

I think I am fairly open-minded. When I feel like typing more, this profile is going to be amazing. I swear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On one particular trip down to Florida and Georgia, I stayed with two wonderful hosts through Couch-surfing. It's incredible that people are so open and welcoming.

Interests

Traveling, reading, good music, hiking, environmental stuff like organic farming, politics. When I walk into a bookstore, it is to the section relating to armed conflict or international development. Then I might walk over to the short stories.
