CURRENT MISSION

To see all the continents before I die and have a blast doing it

ABOUT ME

I live by myself and have lived in AZ since '04 and have an extra guestroom.

All my family lives all over the U.S., so I'm the only one here here in Arizona. I think I have some pretty good stories.

I am a simple person who enjoys meeting interesting people that are happy and open minded.

Some other words or phrases that would describe me (I think at least): sarcastic, dry sense of humor, analytic, quirky, snarky
PHILOSOPHY

I try to live a moderate lifestyle and not float to any extremes. I always do my best to treat others how I want to be treated.
I always tell my friends that the secret to happiness is low expectations and regular exercising.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host couch surfers. I have a guest room with a small full size bed and a comfy couch in my living room. I hope one day to be the surfer and see more of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had two cool guys from Canada and a cool guy from Nashville, TN stay at my place. Both times were a good experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

The world would be a much better place if everyone was a little nicer to each other, including complete strangers.
