I love adventure, and seek out opportunities to learn and experience new things. Travel is important to me, and I do it as much as my job and funds will allow. I love the outdoors, especially hiking, swimming and camping. I also enjoy riding my bicycle, cooking, reading books and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting new people, embrace a community, and to allow for more traveling.
