CURRENT MISSION

Get back into the American groove!

ABOUT ME

I am back in the US after having spent more than 3 years in the Philippines as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Home base is Michigan although I'm currently on a road trip visiting old friends and rediscovering my homeland!

PHILOSOPHY

"Figure out what it is you are for, not what you're against."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have hosted, have been hosted, though I have been out of the couch surfing game for a few years since living in the Philippines!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sun rise over Mt. Malindig every day for 3 years.

I woke up once to discover the place we had parked was at the foot of a glacier in the Swiss Alps. And we brushed our teeth in glacier water.
