I'm a travel-enthusiast from California, working hard and learning as much as I can about the world. I've been fortunate enough to explore a ton of amazing countries and make some absolutely incredible friends along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went to a bunch of great couchsurfing events while traveling, particularly in Krakow and Odessa! The people I met there made my time in those cities even better; I can't believe I didn't get into this sooner.
