PHILOSOPHY

I believe that you receive from the world whatever you offer. I try to live my life with enthusiasm, curiosity, mindfulness and humor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't gotten to travel or host as much as I would have liked recently. But when my living situation permits I love to facilitate travel amongst like-minded folks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I lived in New Zealand for 2 years, and some of the greatest connections I made were because of the friendly, helpful attitude that is prevelant there. I ran into the most gracious hospitality there and it made my travels possible. I'd like to bring that philosophy to travel in the U.S., both as a host and a traveller.
