About Me

VACCINATED !!
-
CURRENT MISSION

Visiting my 99-year old grandma one more time while she is on hospice.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting fellow Couchsurfers!
I interpret the world in the best possible light. I'm obsessed with music of all varieties, although especially jazz.
I live for passion. It rules my universe, and anyone who has it, for anything at all... I feed off of that.
I'm traveling the world to write a book about staying in the same place. Ask me and I'll explain a bit more about that.

PHILOSOPHY

Who wants to know? I want to change the world and alleviate the suffering of those who have little power. Other than that I like garlic on my bread sticks. Let's talk about ways to make the world a better place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I stay on your couch, or you sleep on my inflatable mattress. I love to help with cooking, cleaning, anything else you need me to assist with. The couchsurfing experience is about sharing and giving back! I'd love to share music with you. Do you have a guitar?
