CURRENT MISSION

"be joyful though you have considered all the facts"

ABOUT ME

I'm working towards a life of justice, mercy, and discipleship. I love to travel and meet new people and experience new places. Aside from Northern Ireland, I have lived in Missouri, Thailand, Sweden, Indiana, and the Netherlands.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind and humble. Act with justice and live with fullness. Continue to learn how to love people well.

Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've done a bit of couchsurfing both through the website and through friends-of-friends. I'm open to using couchsurfing when I travel as well as showing hospitality to those passing through.

Interests

A good record, a campfire, a long walk and a good book. Going to a new place and walking for hours. Trading in the urgent for the important.
