About Me

CURRENT MISSION

chase some dreams!
*2017 update: I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin', and hook up with them later.

PHILOSOPHY

Life has a way of working itself out... Relax, deal honestly and with good intent, and don't take life too seriously - you'll never make it out alive.

I think Vonnegut had it right when he said that the world could use a little less love and a little more common decency.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I keep an open mind and sometimes I've even got an open spot on a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few couches when I've been out traveling, and hosted once or twice. I've met some pretty spectacular people: friends, good friends, great friends, and even just some people that are great company for an afternoon. CS is a great community!
