CURRENT MISSION

To walk across the United States

ABOUT ME

I like traveling because lets me learn about the world and the people who inhabit it. I regret passing up any opportunity to gain new perspectives. The best way to gain new perspectives is to travel the world and to experience its cultures, taste its foods, and see its wonders.

I also genuinely enjoy meeting people. I find it very illuminating to listen to others stories, thoughts and opinions. Talking to people I meet helps me gain insight into the complex realities of our world. And I especially enjoy making new friends among my fellow travelers.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to help someone, learn something, and do something new each day. I very much believe in increasing the total amount of happiness in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered CS just before I started this adventure, so I've only surfed so far. I look forward to hosting when I get back to Los Angeles.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a wonderful experience with CS. I'm still in contact with many of my hosts.
