Born and raised in San Diego. Avid reader and cinéphile. Tolkien and comic book nerd. I enjoy philosophy, history, literature. Overall, I just love learning, whether from books, film, experiences, or people. I'm very open-minded and like to hear people's stories. My fondest and most cherished memories are of a simple restaurant or pub setting while breaking bread with friends.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Looking to meet other people and engage in meaningful, as well as humorous, conversation. I love making new friends and enjoy talking with people over a pint of beer or food. Whether we have similar interests or completely different backgrounds, each person has their own story to share. I roomed and befriended international students from Rwanda, China, Cameroon, and Japan while in college.
