*********Read my About and My Home before sending me a couch surfing request. Also use the request system rather than just sending me a message. It helps to keep track of the dates if I have a official request.***********

CURRENT MISSION

PHILOSOPHY
Treat others how you would like to be treating. It is difficult to learn while talking.
