Quit the corporate world and travel the western US.
ABOUT ME
I'm laid back, love to meet new people, share new experiences. I am always trying to make people smile and laugh, and love when another person can do the same for me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am starting a road trip of the western United States in late August and I'm looking forward to surfing some couches! When I am back in stable employment with some furniture, I'll be thrilled to start hosting others.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Total CouchSurfing newbie, looking to break in with new experiences. Always happy to host, but haven't had the opportunity yet - also can't wait to get on the road and hopefully meet some great people through couch surfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
While visiting the Mayan Ruins in Copan, Honduras, I constantly found myself awestruck by the human connection to those who lived thousands of years ago. While the route and content of the pursuit of happiness has changed, the unique goal of survival and community has remained unchanged. I find things like that fascinating.
I am also awestruck by community organizing on the internet. When websites like Reddit come together for the greater good and genuinely impact an individual or the world for the better, I find that inspiring.
