PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the world. Occasionally I believe in people. Primarily, I believe in art, and its power over our lives. I'm a storyteller, and that influences everything I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I occasionally CouchSurf, but my main priority here is to help along any wayward souls who want company in Santa Fe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once stayed in Anaheim on a trip to Disneyland! It was a wonderful experience, even though I've never CouchSurfed again. I'd love to try it again, however!
