(Only reason I'm not verified is because I don't have the $60 for it. I'm slowly building up a reference base so bear with me! But I promise I'm not sketch and have nothing to hide. Anything you wanna know, just ask. :) )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people from around the world, swap stories, and make connections. I think there's more to be said of a person who is willing to open their lives up for free to a total stranger in the sheer hopes of making a connection out of it. I'm here for the genuineness that can be found in the simplistic beauty of others.

Interests

I guess my love for travel goes without saying; breaking bread with others who are different than me, learning from them, and making each other smile. Beyond that I love being in, around, or on the water and I am a sports enthusiast. The more extreme and unusual the adventure, the better!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to pick just one, I've been blessed with a really cool life! Maybe skydiving over Lake Taupo, NZ, bungee jumping in Thailand, serving in the Peace Corps, or hitting my 6th continent last year. Most of it involves meeting new people and experiencing new cultures (and a little adventure doesn't hurt either).
