CURRENT MISSION

Be there

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the same house for twenty years. Now that I'm out, the world's a big place.

PHILOSOPHY

Living to see the next day. No looking back, keep the dreaming to a minimum. There is only now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If I'm around, I would love to help out any way I can. Even if I can't host, I'll buy the first round and we'll see how things go from there!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From Chicago to Vidin, I've hosted and been hosted and been thankful for both.

Interests

Reading, writing, plein air sketching. Music, music, music. Graphic novels. Nooks and crannies. Cooking?
