I'm a runner, writer, and part-time James Brown impersonator. As you might've guessed, I love music. I also love stories and people. Following those passions, I am currently pursuing a career in music journalism. I'm a friendly and creative person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love talking to new people and learning about new things. In particular, I think when you travel, you open yourself up to new ideas, people, and opportunities that you might not be open to in the routine of daily life. I'm fascinated by how travel can teach me to keep an open mind (and open heart), whether I'm traveling the world or staying in the same place. Plus, having been the grateful guest of many before, I want to pay it forward.
