I'm interested in meeting the kind and amazing people of the world.

Compassion. Mindfulness. Open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To offer adventurous and amazing travelers a place to stay.
To crash with incredible people when I'm out in the world.

Even when not hosting or crashing, I love to create and participate in the outstanding events with those who love cultural exchange just as much as me.

And I'm always open to meeting to explore, walk, eat, drink, and laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While in Amsterdam, I met a man named JJ and interviewed him for a film I was making. He was homeless and he asked me to find him family when I returned to the U.S.A. When I returned, I looked, but with no luck. 7 months later, I finally found his family and now working on reconnecting them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach that the world is a beautiful place and the people in it are just as beautiful.
I'd love to learn new recipes, new languages, and new ways to do old tricks.
I'd love to share stories about living free!
