About Me

I guess I'm adventurous, which is why I'm on here. I love new experiences and can't help but want to try out every sport that I see. I'm an extrovert and like to think I make friends easily. I try to be a conscious human at all times, but I have some flaws which I struggle with on the regular. I guess we all do! I can be a bit arrogant at times (I know, arrogance is gross) and sometimes have a bit of an ego (which is actually just a lack of confidence, in my opinion). However, I'm also a team player, hardworking, love to love and try my best to make sure everyone around me is as stoked as I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in paying it forward. We can all help one-another out, and it hardly ever comes at any significant expense relative to what those being helped have to gain! Many of us have such an abundance of good things in life, that we're easily in a position to give.
