I am very generous with my laugh and love to dance.
I was wandering around the northwest Ohio / southeast Michigan.

I don't know if you've ever been to Ohio, but uh I had to go. Now I'm on a journey to find a place I would rather be, until then I'm traveling.
I am documenting my travels but still working on a cohesive vision soooooo. . .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm on here to meet and stay with other people in doing so actually learn how to live.
So far:
I like leaving notes behind.
I've been pissed at myself for not hugging people more.
It's really about having fun and not much else.
Even when the ship sinks, if you can swim then yoooou good.
