CURRENT MISSION

Embracing uncertainty

ABOUT ME

Curious about EVERYTHING... places, food, people, small things, big things, in between sized things. Kinda quiet and contemplative, but a firecracker when adventure calls. Kids crack me up. Oh, and I'll eat just about anything.

PHILOSOPHY

We are here and it is now. Be kind. Make art. Eat food. Keep breathing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Keep the community alive wherever I go... I go to meetups wherever I stop. I try to be a giving guest... will entertain you with my company, do your dishes, share some whacky travel tales, and clean up after myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've felt like my hosts are long lost friends. It's amazing to meet people for the first time and have that trust, as well as so much in common. Latest experience was a road trip with a fellow CSer in New Zealand.
