I believe the best things in life are simple: good vibes, great company, and snacks.
I’m fueled by curiosity, caffeine, and an unreasonable amount of wanderlust.
Part-time mischief-maker, full-time fan of random ridiculousness.
I live for spontaneous adventures, laugh at my own jokes (someone has to), and firmly believe that taking yourself too seriously is a trap.
I’m into deep conversations, bad decisions with great stories, and playlists that jump from jazz to 2000s hip-hop

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and love meeting new and interesting people. I would rather spend money on experiencing a city instead of paying for an empty bed. I am working on a nonprofit that will have me traveling around the world and a part of that experience will be staying with local residents.
