About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Soak up the joy of being alive, spread peace, help save the ocean.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy traveling and meeting cool new people who I can talk with about how crazy and amazing life is.

PHILOSOPHY

If you define a situation as real, it is real in its consequences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love couch surfing and think it is the best idea ever! I have both traveled and hosted with it. I haven't been active for many years, but am starting to travel more and look forward to many more couchsurfing experiences :)!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met about 30 people both through hosting and surfing, and they are 30 of the coolest people I have ever known. Every experience, even a couple kinda weird ones, created lasting and beautiful memories.
