I love to draw and paint, read, shop at thrift stores, ski, hike, do yoga, go out with friends, sleep, cook, play board games, and binge watch Netflix. I am a travel enthusiast when I have the time and funds to do so, and I love discovering new cultures and cool people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the best way to get an authentic view of the place and culture I'm visiting while meeting some interesting and open people. Through my travels, I've found that it's often the people that make a place truly unforgettable, and not necessarily the overhyped sightseeing destinations.
