CURRENT MISSION

Finding and sharing the beauty in the world, from the tiny to the grandiose.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fan of travel myself, and I love sharing travel experiences with others. I'll always offer to help a friend spend the night when they need to. I also enjoy making my cats dance, even if they only permit me to do so because I feed and house them.

PHILOSOPHY

Life has beauty, even if it's hidden somewhere mystifying. People must have inherent goodness in them, otherwise, what's the point?

"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?" -- Kahlil Gibran

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm very new to the CS community. I've heard about it over the years but never truly explored its options. I have, of course, had to crash on friends' couches before, but just never through CS. :-)

Centres d'intérêt

Photography is a big interest of mine, and I like traveling so I can take more photos of more fantastic things and places. If I have to go off the beaten path to get those photos, even better. I also enjoy video games (specifically arcade fighters), muay Thai, and drinking exciting beers.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I drove, alone, around the continental United States when I needed to change up my life and see what else was out there in the world. It taught me to rely on myself more for entertainment and fulfillment.
