Hi there! What can I say about me?? I'm an American who's spent lots of time outside the U.S., led by a curiosity for the world and an eagerness to explore its various geographies and people. I consider myself pretty laid back, but also active and considerate. I'm as happy to share a laugh with new friends as I am to relax with a book. Let's hang!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because staying with someone who lives in your destination is so much better than being in a hotel!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a music lover of all kinds, from obnoxious American pop to hard rock to afrobeats to classical and jazz. Indeed, some friends have been known to call me "DJ rebma".
