CURRENT MISSION

To explore, have adventures, venture off the beaten path, meet new friends and constantly challenge myself to become a more holistic person.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate and constant student of life who wants to explore and learn about people and places. I love to play music, read, write, draw and paint. I love good beer and friendly people, and I love to listen, play, and learn at every opportunity. I can't wait to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in balance, love, curiosity, and simplicity, and I live my life with these four ideas in mind. Humans need each other, and I base my relationships on honesty and respect. I am genuinely interested in everything that others can teach me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed/inhabited my car for 5 months while finishing my last year at University. It was an experience that changed my perspective on possessions, the meaning of hospitality and mutual respect, and the label of "homeless" verses "houseless". I met amazing people, fostered new and old friendships, and enjoyed taking care of the people and places I met by cleaning, cooking, and sharing what I had to offer. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and learned so much about myself and the generosity of others.
