About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finishing work to start the next adventure in November
ABOUT ME
I'm a pretty laid back person and can come off pretty reserved with new people because I love listening to what people have to say and processing it. Those that know me know I can get pretty goofy.
PHILOSOPHY
Chase a dream and do what you can to get there while enjoying all the unexpected bumps and curves.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
It's only been until recently that I've had space to host so not much experience there. Now, I'm trying to get into the community by attending local events.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Traveling, I've had little luck mostly because I travel on a whim so I'm not good at giving notice. But this is something I'd like to work on.
I have met several great people in my travels though that heavily participate with CS. They have only good things to say and highly recomend the experience.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm a voracious reader, so too many. Most recently I'm all over Haruki Murakami and some fantasy series. I guess I'm on an imagination kick right now. Otherwise I enjoy the classics, Hemmingway, Hesse, Dotstoyevsky, Conrad, Kerouac etc.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I lived in Italy for five years. It's something I never would have imagined in my life, but when the opportunity falls in your lap you've got to take it. It's been life changing and eye opening with absolutely no regrets.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love cooking and I love cooking for people even more. Anything and everything.
