Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing to meet new folks and expand my view of the world. I want to immerse in the cities I am traveling in, and one way I love to do that is by connecting with locals. I want to learn about you, your home, and the unique aspects of your city that you cherish!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While scuba diving in Honduras, I had the opportunity to swim with an eagle ray. My whole life, I've had a yearning to feel apart of nature, and to not just act as an observer of it. In that moment, as I was swimming a foot or two above the eagle ray, gliding above the ocean floor together, I felt as if I were one with nature. It was pure bliss.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An upbeat, positive energy, and a willingness to learn and explore. I deeply value empathy-building conversations and love to connect with people who are different from me. I would love to share my travel experiences with you! I am an open book.
