I have a lot of hobbies and interests that I do my best to keep up with. I try to be outdoors as much as possible, which is easy to do in California.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy cultural and local experiences. While traveling and seeing new places is important to me, the people that I meet and connect with make or break my trips, and they're what really stand out.

Teach, Learn, Share
