CURRENT MISSION

I consider myself creative, OPEN minded, and fun. I seek to meet others, learn from them, and share.

ABOUT ME

I believe in being positive, regarding everything in life. I love my life, experiencing new people and places, and learning new things. I like to be outside as much as possible, hiking, biking, running or boating.

I have been a student for most of my life, and since I have recently finished school I am now focusing much energy toward traveling. I currently live in Utah, which I consider one of the most beautiful places in the USA, and continue to explore it's many wonders.

My door is always open to meet new travelers.

PHILOSOPHY

Being positive regardless of the situation or experience. This is a decision one makes every day, and life is incredible when one chooses the positive way. Every experience offers lessons. With loss brings gains. Have fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Prior to CS, my life has always followed a similar mission as my couch has had many guests. With the help of the internet, I hope to offer my couch to even more and more people, helping others along their way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to CS for the time being, though I have many great friends that can not say enough great things about it. I look forward to passing the word on myself.

Interests

Art. I enjoy all mediums, but focus mainly on sculptural and functional ceramics. I teach wheel thrown pottery and show my work in various galleries in Utah.

Experiencing nature. I do this whenever possible, from a simple run in the park to a long backpacking expedition. I am constantly in awe of how beautiful the world is, and want to see as much of it as possible.

Writing. This is an intermittent activity. As many writers can relate to I'm sure, there are times where I write very little, though I keep a pen and notebook with me WHEREVER I go.

Floating and riding the river.

Teach, Learn, Share

Understanding. I have always been fascinated by this concept. What does it mean to say: "I understand."? As much as I try to see things from the perspective of others throughout my life, can we truly comprehend each others experiences?
