I'm from beautiful Richmond, VA, and have lived in various other places all over the US and world. I really like traveling, meeting new people, learning languages, bicycling, ... I'm happiest when in the middle of a city or the middle of the wilderness.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've couchsurfed with some friends and know a lot of people who couchsurf and host. It has always been a great experience with great people. I think the idea is awesome, and look forward to offering my couch when I'm settled later this summer.
