Currently on a one way ticket trip.

It's hard to sum up an entire personality in a paragraph, yeah?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostels are good for meeting travelers, helpx is good for meeting locals, but CS has a bit of both plus a unique vibe. Can't say I've gotten much mileage out of the app but I've enjoyed the experiences I've had with other couchsurfers.

Free-diving a pristine coral reef in Samoa.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to cook but I would like to learn more recipes.

Anything you're passionate about, I'd like to learn more about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a gracious guest. I try to leave a place neater than I found it.

Sometimes people tell me I'm funny. Usually they say that when I'm not actually telling a joke, though.
