I flip houses and live in the basement of a church in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Eastside. I get to work with my hands and be outside and be around people that tell me that i am beautiful. Less importantly [but more relevant to this website], I have the freedom to travel all over the place. also, I like myself. I think that is important.

I am way good at riding a bicycle and I love riding around so I would be happy to show anyone around this incredible city.

Philosophy[ies]? Do the next right thing! Listen to others that know better than you. Listen to old people. Listen to kids. Listen to Tom Waits. Shut up. Give everything away. Walk a lot. Take care of your body. Love God. Face your fears. Sleep outside. Stay away from the buffalo! It's better to regret something you did, than something you didn't do...

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I have CSed in Central America, USA, and Canada. I think that the best thing that I can offer to anyone is an inquisitive ear and an unquenchable curiosity for the human spirit!
