About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make you smile. Twice.

ABOUT ME
Everything I own fits in a suitcase and I travel 100% of the time. I have 7 shirts ( Monday, Tuesday, Wed... ). I make my living as a stand up comic/ motivational speaker, and I spend about half of my life volunteering. I also LOVE to meet people and learn about those different from me. I welcome anyone regardless of your gender, nationality, faith etc. Really the more different we are the more we can learn right?

I have been to all 50 states and I think 20+ countries. Can't wait to see your town.

PHILOSOPHY

I adore life and each day is an adventure. I think we were created to love and be loved. I'd love to talk with you about your ideas. www.stuff-less.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted way more than I've surfed, but now that I gave up my house I can ONLY surf : ) and hang out of course.
I'm looking to go meet some cool folks. Feel free to suggest surfers you recommend or places I should visit.

I live wherever I am.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly hosting a bunch of great people! I'm looking forward to more surfing asap and welcome your ideas. I've surfed around America but looking to do more and go worldwide. Have a cool spot? Invite me and I'll come hang.

Interests

travel, comedy, new friends, exploring... making people laugh with or at me. Learning about what makes you tick and what you believe in. Laughing with you. I love to volunteer and try to help people. Sounds cheesy but true.

I started a mission in Honduras and lead vacations with a purpose there three or so times a year. Come with me!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of music. Sinatra to Country to Pantera and even some Opera. Really I can dig a lot of stuff. Same with movies, but fav has to be Tommyboy. I love thriller books and educational stuff. Donald Miller, Lee Child, Apostle Paul...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow, there are so many and I hope CS brings me more. Come hang out and we can share stories! All the typical stuff like skydiving and caving in Belize, and some weird stuff like getting accepted and two scholarships from a women's college. But just meeting new peeps can be just as much a rush.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to laugh and be laughed at. I've also recently started doing magic and I'd love to show you. I love learning what makes people tick and what makes you smile! If you want to meet the coolest person ever, check out my amazing sister at www.smilewithjulie.com

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything I have and anything you need. You'll never meet a generous person that's not happy. Try it : )
