CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am me, a lot more clean cut than the photo but still got the smile. I like to do that a lot. I love experiences both good and bad (not too bad as I am still here). I love traveling alone and meeting people everywhere I go. I like being confronted by things that I never thought of before and having a dumb moment of brilliant clarity. I love forgetting about that moment until the next time it happens. I don't like being bored and so I tend to do weird stuff if nothing else is going on. I am juvenile, mature, pagan and Buddhist on odd and even days. Give me a couple glasses of wine and I will tell you more about me.

PHILOSOPHY

To live in the moment while hoping for the future and understanding the past.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf couches and foster couch karma!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My introduction to the kindness of strangers opening up their houses to me was when I moved to Vail, CO. I had my car packed and no where to go so as I went around the first day looking at apartments this guy Ryan told me that someone had already rented his room but they were not moving in for a week and invited me to stay while I looked. I hope to live up to his example.
