About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the spacewaves!

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Fargo, North Dakota and am now wanting to travel everywhere I can.

I went to school at Humboldt State University in California and spent a year in school at University of South Florida in Tampa. Summer of 08 I was interning on the hill in Washington DC and the third year I attended Rangsit University in Pathum Thani, Thailand (just north of Bangkok) After that I worked in a village in the NorthEast of China teaching and doing development work.

Now I am finishing up school back at Humboldt State and am waiting to be departed to the Peace Corps.

(2016 update. I lived in NYC for 3 years working in Non-profit and now live in St. Petersburg, Florida living the beach life)

I love people, politics/economics and its relation to people and one on one discussions

PHILOSOPHY

Life is absurdly awesome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love hosting people, I love staying with people! I will never use another means of hospitality again! It is like having a community of good friends everywhere in the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The most amazing Couchsurfing experience was in Philadelphia. It was so magnificent on so many levels!! I had a great place to stay, with most wonderful company. I got to see the Sun Ra Arkestra play and then I met up with one of the band members later that night. It was a wild dream come true
