ABOUT ME

I am pretty easy to talk to and outgoing. I really enjoy traveling and meeting local people as well as other travelers. I used to go on a 3 week international trip at least once a year. That ended a few years ago, so I am trying to resume the tradition.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm traveling, I really enjoy meeting local people and doing local things aside from just touristic activities. I have both hosted and surfed myself. There have been some instances when someone has hosted me, and then they come to Austin, and I host them back. I love it when that happens! It feels like a full circle experience. Over the years, I have made some very good friends through CS that I still keep up with today. I also like to meet couchsurfers in Austin to listen to their travel adventures as well as help out in any way I can

Music, Movies, and Books

I love going to concerts and music festivals. I was lucky to get a music festival passport in 2018 and used it to get both in the US and in Europe. Without meeting other passport holders before, we would coordinate our trips and share lodging for the festivals...it reminded me a bit of couchsurfing. I have gone to acl and sxsw pretty much every year since I moved to Austin in 2008. Some of my favorite bands are minus the bear, phoenix, arcade fire, arctic monkeys, the xx, foals, muse, death cab, tame impala, portugal the man, passion pit, local natives, haim, lana del rey, etc.
