ABOUT ME

I find joy in the simple things. I love a hearty laugh, a breathtaking view, and bizarre conversations. I'm easy going and generally enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participated in a couple of CS events in CA and really enjoyed them. After college, I road tripped home from Indiana to Southern California and Couch surfed along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed exchanging experiences with the people I met.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in Wyoming (twice) and Oregon. I had very positive experiences with the people I met along the way. It is ceaselessly fascinating to explore the different ways people focus their lives.
