CURRENT MISSION

To seek the new experience and to make it the best it can be

ABOUT ME

I am a child of the western coast of the US. I live and breathe oceans, old growth trees, and expansive landscapes. It takes quite a bit to knock me out of my peaceful bliss. I roll with the punches and drift with the tumble weeds. I am down to earth, creative, a singer and writer of songs, friendly, widely knowledgeable of the physical realm, and easy going. I come from a large family and am both respectful of others and generous. I'm exactly like myself.

PHILOSOPHY

You get what you give and I try my hardest to give my best. So far in life this has worked well for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With a nod, a smile, and a friendly, "hello".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never a bad experience

Interests

I take pleasure in the simple things. I dig the earth, sunshine, good food, good drink, conversation, and new experience. Music, nature, and expansion. I have an insatiable interest in everything and how it all relates.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At this point in life it's very hard for me to pick out a few specific moments because I feel like I've had so many. Making music, food, traveling, and experiencing nature is always amazing. Spontaneous inspirations usually take me to exciting and unexpected places. I cherish each moment and try to make the next one even better.
