Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet some interesting people and travel a little more in the future. My grandparents traveled the world and around the country every chance they got and I've been interested in seeing all for as long as I've heard their stories.

Interests

In no particular order, good coffee, news, reading, writing, dressing in red, hiking, trying new restaurants, meeting new people, spending too much time on sporcle geography quizzes. I've jumped on the craft beer bandwagon.
