About Me

I'm an Austinite that values sincerity, balance, learning, curiosity, individuality and independence. I like to surround myself with people that are passionate about life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I am passionate about travel. I love meeting new people and sharing new cultures. I want to have friends that live all around the world so I can have people to experience my travels with!

Interests

Recently discovered acroyoga! I love improv comedy and am working up the courage to join a class. I'm into making connections with people; having conversions about consciousness and existence. Playing around on the greenbelt exploring the beautiful nature we live in. Being grateful and sharing my gratitude with others. Positive thinking and setting positive intentions.
Riding my motorcycle (Suzuki Savage 650cc).
Checking out movies at the Alamo Drafthouse.
Sneaking into pools and swimming in the middle of the night.
