CURRENT MISSION

Ascending the Mount Everest of my soul, man, with a canteen full of spirit(s).

ABOUT ME

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mainly surfing, but I have hosted a few friends when I had a place of my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best feeling is meeting a stranger and feeling like you've known them your whole life. I've met so many wonderful and interesting people through couchsurfing, and I try to encourage everyone I know to do it. It's an experience like no other that makes you realize we're all really one big family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I held down a baby bull that was being castrated! Definitely crazy, I never thought I'd be helping to neuter a cow! It was my cowgirl moment of glory, for sure. I also hiked the Chilkoot Trail. :)

My experiences, my compassion, and my cleanliness & thoughtfulness! :D
