I'm originally from California. I enjoy conversations on politics and social cognitive theory, as well as reminiscing on 80s cartoons and their implications on childhood development. I like to try and make my own things, even if it's a failure it still goes on the trophy shelf. I believe going to bed early and sleeping in late are some of the best things in the world. I'm usually either 20 minutes early or 20 minutes late.

Laid back, (usually) solo traveler, who loves to cook and explore local markets and cuisines. From eating a hamburger in a small town in Wisconsin, to shopping in London, England, to sitting on a beach in Cambodia - there isn't a place that I've been to that I have not enjoyed! (Except Los Angeles. I'm going to be honest, I really dislike L.A.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
