ABOUT ME

Laid back but conscientious. Fun loving, reliably positive attitude. Adventurous. Quirky.

PHILOSOPHY

No long range plans. I do things I find fulfilling and try to stay open to a wide range of activities and futures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with hosts in San Jose, Lake Placid, Milwaukee, and NYC. A few times I even couchsurfed with my dad. My hosts have included biology researchers, a luge coach, an art student, and more. They have all been incredibly welcoming and fun to get to know.
