I am laid back and intense. I plan to travel everywhere, see everything, learn what I can, and make meaningful connections along the way. I can be contemplative, but if you get me talking I may ramble on and on. I hate mosquitoes. I will eat anything (not mosquitoes).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

-Through connections I’ve been fortunate to stay with various hosts as well as offer my space to travelers. I joined Couchsurfing years ago at the recommendation of a fellow traveler and forgot that I did. When I came back here to sign up, I saw that I already have an account. I suppose my memory’s not something to brag about.
-I want to be a traveler rather than a tourist.
-The more people become members of the global community, the better off all of us will be.
