Waiting on my layover in Chicago O'Hare Airport, a priest told me he wished he could have a disposition more like mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a tendency to not sit still. I love to be traveling, creating and meeting new people, though as an INFP/INTP, I have an introverted side, too. Couchsurfing has enabled me to travel, day dream and meet new friends through surfing and hosting. I love the kind of personality that is attracted to communities like this.
I've also joined artist groups on here to participate in some global projects. I love being a part of something much bigger than what I could have accomplished alone

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Repeatedly faced my fears.

Teach, Learn, Share

I never went to college but I always strive to educate myself in all different topics. I love conversations with people where learning happens for both parties. I am passionate about self improvement and try to constantly break down my ego.
I have also learned a lot of practical skills and crafts to get me through life, and enjoy teaching those skills to others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As I said before, I love sharing my talents. How I express love is making you laugh or enjoying a deep conversation about life. I would hope I can share special human moments with you, and that I can help to unlock some part of your spirit and help set your imagination free!
