I am liking the idea of meeting with you.

ABOUT ME

I can't say I have been a boy scout, but I know how to make a peanut-butter jelly and sleep under the stars.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I keep my doors open to new experiences, and fervently accept others invites without apprehension.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have spent a lifetime informally couchsurfing,
but I have yet to cement my identity on this site.

Interests

I like a good many things, but meeting new people tops everything. If you are in town, please do not hesitate to send me a message; I would love to get coffee with you or help you in any way I can.
