Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION Showing people my wonderful city and making friends for future journeys.
ABOUT ME I love living and experiencing everything that goes along with it good and bad. I love eating at new restaurants, checking out live music and getting to know new things about my own city as well as others. I prefer to host people that are traveling for fun and here to explore the city rather than in between housing situations. I hate to have to put that on here but I seem to get a lot of requests from people in that situation and being short term housing is not what I'm here for. I also usually host once a month at most so sadly I have to say no a lot even though I'd love to host more. All that being said I truly enjoy hosting and look forward to meeting new people.
PHILOSOPHY Life to me is meant to be enjoyed and thoroughly lived. I try to balance my lofty goals with living a balanced life and getting into the good kind of trouble. I try to leave everything I touch better than it was before.

Music, Movies, and Books
When it comes to movies I find that even the bad ones can have entertainment value. I love all types of music. I grew up on rock and somehow managed to end up liking everything from classical to gypsy music. As far as I'm concerned anything that someone with talent has put together I will listen to and probably enjoy. I just read anything that peaks my interest although most of that has been about meditation and the awakening of the mind over the past couple years.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There are a couple things that stick out. Seeing the space shuttle launch in person and seeing the northern lights.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm looking to meet people that are laid back and here to enjoy their time on earth as well as actively make it a better place for all living beings.
