Science nerd who loves the great outdoors, being active and healthy, and cooking great food! I’m new to Couchsurfing so please excuse the scarcity of references. 😇

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The hostel scene gets pretty repetitive and I’ve found the best travel experiences occur when you go local. My favorite times traveling have been in the villages of Nepal and Thailand where you’re living with and meeting only the local people. It provides you with an insight into their lives and connections that you just can’t get when sticking to the tourist hangouts.
