CURRENT MISSION: To figure out my mission.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS primarily to meet the people who live in the places I travel to. I want each new town/city/country that I visited to be represented by a name, a face, a person, a life. The people who live in a place make that place what it is--without them, why go?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traversed the United States on bicycle. Seen the sunrise from a glacier after waking up at 2am to reach that point. Been shown amazing hospitality that I hope to repay.
