I love life and people. I appreciate beauty, creativity and all things divine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To stay with cool people in cool places. To meet up with others who are likeminded.

I've hosted a lot of people, but never directly through the site. It's always been the old fashioned--hey, my friend of a friend needs a bed... I can't wait to host more folks from CS. My work schedule makes it hard to commit to host folks in the distant future, but I'm usually able to accommodate last minute requests.

Two of my best friends met at a couch crash in Columbus around 2011 or 2012. They brought me to events and introduced me to great folks. Almost everyone in their wedding party was a friend through CS.

After I moved to Cleveland I met the couch house. I knew I had to get more involved.
