About Me

Coffee/dance; the two things I couldn't imagine life without.

And I love people. I've had the wild fortune to have come to know many great people, from many different worlds, and my curiosity continues, insatiable and ruthless, and I think will always be my truth.

How I travel: Walk into a quaint café, order a latte/croissant aux amandes, and, if possible, make small talk with a local.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met a lot of great Couch Surfers through common friends and that's how I got started.

Really I'm all about shared experiences, and what better way to know a place than to share stories with the people living there.
