I’m always looking for any opportunity to connect with someone new. I think that life is more authentic when you refuse to participate in small talk and take your conversations and your connections to a deeper level.

...

I love getting on a plane with no agenda. I love meeting new people, tasting new foods and trying new things. I will do anything once. I love being outdoors, especially if I am hiking or doing anything in or near the water.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connect. Explore. Share.

Some can visit a place and never know where they are. I love the opportunity to get to know a city from someone that knows it best and I love meeting new people.

I haven’t hosted yet, but I’ve shown surfers around Detroit whenever I’m available. I typically use CS more so to meet people.
