Used to host a LOT of Couchsurfers back in 2010-2014 in San Diego, but know I'm seeing if I can use Couchsurfing to make local friends in all the beautiful places I want to go! In my experience it is ALWAYS better to stay with a friendly host rather than staying at a hotel. It's not just about saving money (while that certainly helps a long-term backpacker like myself), but it also allows me a better glimpse into the everyday life of the people who live in the communities I visit. Nature is beautiful, but it's the humans living there that make a location truly unique.

How do I even begin? MUSIC IS LIFE Love movies that challenge my mind and make me think. Zombies movies, sci-fi movies, thrillers, horror. It's much more likely to find me reading than it is to find me watching TV. I'm a huge nerd for fantasy books (Just finished the entire 14-book Wheel Of Time series), historical fiction, sci-fi!!!
