CURRENT MISSION

Living a life full of adventure, challenge and learning

ABOUT ME

I'm friendly, outgoing, adventurous. I bring creativity to every situation, think outside the box, am willing to try new things, and contribute to great conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to make the world a better place. I'm still not sure how I'll accomplish that. I'm even beginning to think that DOING anything that intervenes with the universe in progress might be harmful rather than helpful. Maybe I achieve my goal simply by striving to be the best person I can be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've crashed on the couches of friends for a few days or a couple of weeks, but - as of yet - haven't ventured beyond.

Interests

I love learning and traveling. I read a lot, enjoy listening to music, am constantly playing with languages. I like to visit new places and explore. I love to cook and eat. In my free time, I write, whitewater raft and keep in touch with friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's talk about traveling and how and why we go to places far away. Let's talk about the philosophy and form of language. We can discuss the rivers of the Western US, the implementation of foreign aid in Africa, and everything I know about stage-managing. We can have a cooking extravaganza!
