Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Getting to know a little bit of the world, and just be kind along the way.
ABOUT
I've lived in flat Plano, Texas all my life. There are no rivers or mountains or beaches or hills so I want to see more. Love learning about the architecture and design of any place I do visit, some don't notice the great beauty of they home until your away from it. I dabble in learning about other languages from the people I meet even if it's just a few words.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
First experience with CS, went with a friend to Rouen where we meet a couple who were super accommodating and helpful, they gave us a tour of the city, a home cooked dinner and it was a good practice speaking french. I just love knowing that there's a lot nice people out there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I witness the volcanic eruption of San Miguel (2014) in Elsalvador, which had not erupted since the 70's....a little scary but an incredible thing to see massive smoke cloud just grow into the sky. Makes you realize how small one is.
Teach, Learn, Share
language wise....I like to learn about slang, always good to know.
