Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People are more hospitable and kind than we give them credit for. I think traveling is more than seeing things. It's about connecting with people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my short stories, "The Tattoo" was published in September 2018. It was a small publishing house, but I was pretty proud of that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught myself piano and guitar. Maybe I could teach you how to play some basic chords.
I'd love to learn more about beekeeping and botanical knowledge (mainly because I know absolutely nothing about either of those subjects, and always wanted to)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a decent cook and baker. I'd love to learn about your local cuisine and how to make your culture's best meals!
