CURRENT MISSION

to grow, explore, and listen well

ABOUT ME

The last few years I've enjoyed working in the summers and traveling in the winters, now I am back home in Homer working once more. I love to hear stories of other folk's travels, I've experienced incredible generosity and kindness in my wanderings and want to pay it forward.

PHILOSOPHY

Those who shun the whimsy of things will experience rigor mortis before death. -Tom Robbins

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend and I hosted a bunch this past summer via my friend's account, all really positive experiences and made me think, this is something I'd like to get into... now I am traveling, and get to be a surfer myself.
