CURRENT MISSION

To be as involved as I can with all things environmental and justice related on the KU campus.

ABOUT ME

Switched from Chiropractics to Environmental Studies which added on two years of catch-up time in the wonderful city of Lawrence following what I'm passionate about. . . and I am stoked at the possibilities for the future. I love seeing humor in the most random places and times, even when no one else does. Experience is one of the greatest teachers and I've learned many things but I know that there's so much more. You can learn alot from an experience, movie, story or book and it can change your entire perspective if you let it. I adore nature, beautiful pictures and I believe in some conspiracies. Nature and justice play important parts in who I am and will continue to do so with the more I live and learn. I like to keep in shape in order to be better prepared for anything. My mind wanders easily and it's not unlike me to say strange, out of place things. The one thing I believe is that anything is possible. I'm even a mystery to myself sometimes, so if you wanna try to get to know me better, come join me on the adventure and ask any questions you want.

PHILOSOPHY

Live hard, fight for what you come to believe is right and question everything. . . even yourself from time to time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm renting out a room in someone else's house, so sadly I can't easily offer up the couch. I've got floor space in my room and barely enough room for another person on my twin bed.

I'm just getting started outside the realm of the couches of friends and family.
