Hello! Im an active individual who loves experiencing new cultures, as well as the great outdoors. I’m also passionate about reading, studying new topics, and discussing ideas. When traveling, I like to stay in and cook when someone knows local recipes, otherwise I enjoy going out to enjoy local restaurants.

If I am visiting a place that is known for night life, I do enjoy doing this some nights, although probably not every night. If an area has a quiet night life scene, I usually relax at night unless the person I’m staying with wants to show me around the area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hopefully to meet new people in the areas I’m visiting to experience the area as they do.
