I'm originally from the US but lived in Goettingen, Germany for a few years before moving to Western Mongolia, where I hosted people for the first time in my couchsurfing career. After a few months in London, I have recently relocated to Kabul for the time being.

Sorry, I can't host anyone because security!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting awesome people from all over the world and I legit love hosting people, so couchsurfing seemed like the next logical step.
