A roaming traveler and designer, I love to explore and meet new people from around the world. I love sharing stories and always prefer living like the locals to being a tourist. I'm currently working on a publication that is meant to bring together stories and perspectives of individuals who live a nomadic way of life like many of those here on CouchSurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Truly experiencing a place is rarely done from the comfort of a hotel room. It requires getting out and meeting the individuals that make up the reality you've found yourself in. CouchSurfing is a great network to find those who share this mindset and are interested in helping out fellow travelers.

Interests

I'm a graphic designer by trade, often working various freelance jobs while on the road, and also have various other creative interests including painting, drawing & photography. I'm always looking to collaborate and for people to contribute to my publication Aggregate.
