ABOUT ME

I'm an avid reader and I love to learn and write. If you are still reading this after I have discussed something so boring, Thank you so much. I love traveling and try to experience the world as much as possible. My current obsession are cheese boards. I'm obsessed with making cheese boards. Delicious! I just like experiencing new things and new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life to the fullest as possible. It has only been in recent years that I have come to the realization that there is nothing stopping me from pursuing my dreams. I'm dedicated to becoming the best person I can possibly be while still simultaneously remembering no one is perfect. I only get one shot at this thing called life and there is no reason not to live it to the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I personally like the whole notion of a moral economy. I think money devalues an experience and in many ways causes isolation. The idea of couch surfing is such a simple and practical idea. It's human nature at it's purest form, which is absolutely wonderful. I'm more than willing to provide a place to stay, a homecooked meal, a night on the town and become a genuine friend to anyone in need.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of my couchsurfing experiences have been great. I hope to have more in the near future.
