CURRENT MISSION

To share in raising a glass To Life, To Life, L'Chaim!

ABOUT ME

Adopted Minnesotan from Chicago. Would love to host if available! (Living with cs'er Jessica Gast).

I'v been in and out of different universities for a number of years whilst receiving an education in truth from the many places visited and moreover, the people met, I'm enthralled to have found a way to incorporate the education of travel into a permanent part of my life, that of an airline steward. Each month now offers the opportunity to spend weeks in various locales, meeting those who call that place home.

PHILOSOPHY

sharing a good time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Daily spreading the word on the world of CS to fellow air hosts and stewardesses as well as passengers in transit, all of whom have potential to add to the community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

life, death and the celebration between

Teach, Learn, Share

When inquiring about surfing someone's couch, attempt to make the request personal by simply addressing them by name and including a thing or two about why you're looking to surf their couch or (if you have time) referencing something in their profile. A little bit goes a long way
