There are two general rules of thumb that I try to live by: Be excellent to others, and never be frightened to try new things. I love adventuring, roadtripping, and experiencing the unknown, but even more than that, I love the people you meet along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because couchsurfing promotes a sense of community and connectedness. It promotes reaching out to your fellow human beings and sharing incredible experiences.

Interests

There's not much I don't like, however, an infinite amount of things that I do. I like being barefoot, finding constellations, wading into slightly too cool water, wandering around aimlessly, impromptu yoga, sour beer, red wine (but really all wine), dancing as if it were going out of style, witnessing others' happiness, cooking for friends, playing with other people's animals, quoting movies, dumb jokes, high-fives, hugs, anything velvet, and having my mind blown while discussing the finer points of our existence.
