CURRENT MISSION

To spread positive spirits in a world of gloom.

ABOUT ME

Always hungry, never tired! Everything is beautiful and I enjoy my time making jokes with folks about the futility of existence.

PHILOSOPHY

We are the fabric of life; let's make it worth living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would love to show people my hometown. Would love to get to know good folks in theirs.
