I'm a 38 year old, from the USA. Ai enjoy hiking, biking, backpacking, eating great local cuisine, and enjoying the company of new people I meet on my adventure. I'm blessed with great parents that instilled values in me that alot of Americans don't have. I enjoy historical culture, and wish to learn more about the way people live in other countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people, local people, in the cities I travel to. I want to see how the locals live, and find a deeper appreciation for the differences between my culture and the cultures of others.
