I'm an easy-going adventurer who's always up for meeting new people and making new friends! I'm big into everything science and I adore learning new things, so I'm up for fun chats about anything and everything. I'm tidy, good with pets, and very low maintenance!

Other things --
Currently I'm travelling with my friend Kara. She's a writer and fellow lover of adventures - you couldn't ask for a better partner in crime. Like me, she's incredibly chill and is generally down for just about anything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems like a great way to travel without being the stereotypical tourist -- I'd like to get to a feel for what a place is truly about, and I think the best way to do that is to meet the people living there!
