About Me

Hey there!

I am a friendly traveler looking for places to explore over the weekends. I'm in a really stressful phd program and need a break from time to time. Trying to visit places in the U.S. I haven't check out before, specifically the Northwest and South.

I'm super respectful, clean and considerate. I like to laugh (have a good sense of humor) and love learning about the lives of others.

I plan to spend as much time as possible out and about exploring the cities I visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
