CURRENT MISSION
Summer's on, time to see it all.

ABOUT ME
Living in Michigan, wishing I wasn't.
Trying to travel in my off time. When I'm not off, I cook for a living (as well as being a student).

PHILOSOPHY
"How odd I can have all this inside me and to you its just words."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can't necessarily host. Well, maybe I can. I just like to travel, plus who would want to travel to Grand Rapids, Michigan? If you're here, hit me up.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Spent a week or so in Whalsay, Shetland Islands, United Kingdom about two years ago. Had a great time up there, so I'm back for more.
