CURRENT MISSION

I want to see as the much of the world as possible, meeting as many great people as I can along the way.

ABOUT ME

It seems every year I'm headed out of the country. I love to travel, but more importantly, I love to make new friends. Experiencing the world through embracing other cultures (people, film, art, food, and music) is what traveling is all about.

My time is spent watching television shows I oughtn't watch and movies I ought to have already seen. But, that's all bookended by hoarding and enjoying music and also writing (poetry, non-fiction and fiction).

One random fact about me: I do not know how to swim. So, please don't push me into deep water. On second thought, please don't push me into ANY water.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't let someone else determine how you live your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not able to host at this time, but I'd like to in the future. I've got three roommates. However, I welcome the opportunity to show someone around San Francisco.

Right now, I'm looking to travel abroad, meet great people, make new friends and learn about other cultures from those who know best. Of course, anyone I do stay with is always welcome at my place anytime.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience couch surfing was the best time of my life. I stayed with a friend in London and I could not have asked for a better time.
