CURRENT MISSION

I want to visit new places and meet good people, play music, cook food, and write about the whole experience.

ABOUT ME

This year I started traveling full-time. I have housesat, stayed with friends, and slept in my van. I write about my travels and fictional short stories.
I like to hike either in nature or in cities. I like to cook and bake. I like music and play a little. I like to meet good, friendly, open people.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all one.
Let's be good to each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
