About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See, hear, taste, smell, and touch everything I can!

ABOUT ME

Good things I hope.

PHILOSOPHY

I am always trying to grow and evolve as a person. I think the only way to do that is expose yourself to new places, experiences, and people. We are all pieces of clay hoping to be molded into something beautiful.

I just try to stay open to everything. Life works in strange ways. You never know who you're going to meet and what path that will lead you down.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first CouchSurfing experience. Although in my travels I had some experiences where a new friend offered up their couch for the night.

Interests

My main hobby seems to be acquiring new hobbies! I love to learn new things and experience things that are typically out of my element.

I love all things music. Have played the piano for a while and just started learning (slowly!) the guitar. I try to see as much live music as I can!
