CURRENT MISSION

To meet people from any and every cultural background, learn what I can from them, and enrich my life with the experiences we share.

ABOUT ME

I'm respectful, hospitable, and modest especially when I first meet someone. As many people do, I open up the more you get to know me. That beings said, I'm already pretty open as it is. I'm naturally social and outgoing but I become more animated and fun as time goes on. I love making people smile. In fact, its a hobby of mine. I love laughter, smiling, and enjoying life. I'm a big fan of trying new food, craft beers, wine, and whiskey. My go to drink is a Manhattan (on the rocks). I like sitting and enjoying the company of others who are positive about life. Enjoying a nice porch with a breeze, some good music, and maybe a hookah is a great time for me. I also like to get out and go camping, hiking, biking, rock climbing (haven't done so in a long time), kayaking, and sightseeing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travel the world, experience and learn things that are unattainable here where I'm used to, and would love to couch surf to get the full cultural experience. Until I'm able to travel as much as I'd like, I would love to host surfers and make connections, learn what I can, and live life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't couch surfed as much as I'd like but I've definitely had my fair share of surfing/hosting experiences during my many transient, nomadic phases that aren't associated with this site.

Interests

I love the outdoors, music, art, dance, my dogs, new food, fun experiences, once in a lifetime opportunities, and flying airplanes. I’m a licensed pilot and love being in the air. I love a good cocktail and conversation as well as smoking hookah.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Garth Brooks, Blue Man Group, Pentatonix, Zac Brown Band, Chris Stapleton, Mika, Frank Sinatra, Queen, Survivor, Phil Collins/Genesis, David Lang, Barbara Streisand, various musicals...it would be easier to say I'm eclectic.

Books:
Angela's Ashes, Feeling Loved, FAR/AIM, The Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Dance Kinesiology, Fire and Fury

Movies:
Ill attempt to watch anything once. I like everything from "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane" to "Victor Victoria," and the Harry Potter series to the LOTR series, and Avatar to Sandlot. Love a good comedy, a sappy romance, a gory horror film, and an action packed suspense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Colorado my junior year of high school for a summer camp. While we were there we white water rafted, hiked to the peak of Mt. Uncompahgre, rock climbed on the side of a mountain, ate at a local diner (with some of the best country fried steak ever), cooked our meals around a camp fire, and even slept in weather ports with a bear making an appearance at the camp a few times. Besides the air being refreshingly clean and the scenery being breathtaking, the whole trip was humbling and a much needed escape that I will never forget.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm pretty social and easy to get along with. I can almost always find something to relate to and if not, I enjoy learning about the things I don't know. I can offer a sense of humor that can be dry and dark at times or light hearted and playful. I will sing with you in the car, dance in the streets, respect your bedtime, and look at pictures of your dog(s).
