ABOUT ME

Nomadic, curious, thoughtful,up for anything,....

I am an American who spent my youth traveling around the south Pacific Islands and the Americas. And when I grew up, I just never stopped. I love traveling and want to see as much of the world as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to have guests! As an avid traveler, I love to learn about other cultures and people. If you are traveling through, don't be afraid to come crash!

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't get me started on Civil Engineering, development or disasters unless you really want to be in school. I also love to talk about cooking, diving, board games and how to survive in graduate school. Of course I would be happy to learn more about any of the above and just about anything else under the sun. (I've been called ridiculously curious before).
