About Me

CURRENT MISSION

rainforest, waterfall, lava flow, sunlight and warmth

ABOUT ME

I make a badass panang curry with sweet potatoes and snow peas.

I'm a small business owner, student, and traveler. I couchsurf not to save money, but to meet people who live in town, and not just hostellers.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life believing I will eventually see all my hopes come to fruition.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing, and showing you around town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hitchhiked across the country and stayed with excellent hosts from San Antonio to Sacramento in 2006, and made another cross-country couchsurfing exploration via car in summer 2008.

Couchsurfed around east and west Europe in summer 2009.

Also have had just as good a time hosting people from around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up under a bridge in Eastern Texas to a tender breeze and tiny brown birds squawking and flying in circles over my head.

Speaking of waking up in strange places, there was also that one time this summer, in an abandoned beachfront house that had no front wall, the remains of a driftwood fire in the fireplace, and the Pacific crashing a few feet away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you everything you didn't know or want to know about the Norman invasion and other history stuff. Also like to talk books and bake pies.
