CURRENT MISSION

To keep on moving forward, even if that means sticking in one spot.

ABOUT ME

After bouncing around in India, Ohio, and Washington, DC, now I'm in St Louis for a good little while. I'm excited to be back in the Midwest and explore Missouri - Ozarks, wineries, float trips, and all the rest. Hopefully the next years will take me far and wide around Arkansas and Tennessee, but also back overseas before too long. I also enjoy washing dishes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few folks at my house while living in Madurai, India. Now that I'm back in the states I'm looking to surf a few couches as I travel around the midwest, and perhaps host folks once I'm more settled in.

Interests

Matchboxes, barbershops, cooking, and getting my hands dirty.
