About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world with as many people as possible

ABOUT ME

I am currently looking for some friends and good conversation. I am going to school for my MEd in School Counseling at Western Washington University. If anyone comes out to crash our couch I am game to show you around to places I have discovered, and find more sights with whoever is up for it.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not living to stress about the small things. I will read whatever I feel like whenever I can. Work is important, but not worth it if you don't enjoy what you do. I live to help others when I can, always remembering to learn along the way and taking breaks to let the lessons sink in. Life is about expanding knowledge and putting that knowledge to bettering humanity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping to meet new people in my community and search for others as I travel more. With any luck some travelers will crash my couch and we can explore this area together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few people, and have had the good fortune of being hosted around the world. Great people everywhere.

Interests

A little bit of frisbee, running, reading, writing, conversing, biking, hiking, drawing, exploring, camping, listening to music, learning mandolin, climbing, and the art of home brew.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Little Prince, The Alchemist, Culture Jam...just the tip of the iceberg. I read about 2 books a week. All kinds of music, I find myself listening to a lot of Atmosphere, Metric, and Gogol Bordello lately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched an MP officer go against the regulations of her job by bringing food, water, and clothing to a homeless young man in the lower ninth ward 2 years after Katrina hit. The kindness she bestowed allowed this man to open up and offer our cleaning crew help.
