CURRENT MISSION

Visit as many new places as possible

ABOUT ME

I consider my life a small collection of experiences... and I'm always trying to find new experiences to add to my collection. Thus, I'm always down to try anything at any time. I never say no to doing something new.

PHILOSOPHY

Whenever possible... dessert first.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had the most wonderful couch surfing experiences when I tried it for the first time this past summer during the last two weeks of my seven week tour of Europe. I only wish I had started using this site earlier in my trip!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Still looking for those moments... perhaps they will be with you?

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn how to make music. I recently have started playing ukulele, but I'd like to play in groups. Not sure what I can teach... perhaps I'll discover something as I meet other couch surfers.
