I'm in the midst of what I hope will be at least a full year abroad! I quit my job, sold or boxed up my belongings, and transferred my savings. I began with the Camino de Santiago which showed me such profound lessons in humanity, love, resilience, and humour that it doesn't surprise me that you encounter those who have walked it half a dozen times. I'm continuing to explore and continuing to learn. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ever since being introduced to international travel as an adolescent where I lived in Thailand for 6 months, I have *always* craved a local experience. This is the ideal opportunity!
