CURRENT MISSION

to eat the world with my eyes

ABOUT ME

i'm laid-back and independent with a witty sense of humor. i love being outdoors and exploring new places, faces, and flavors. i'm kinda silly and kinda serious, but always open for a good conversation with new people.

PHILOSOPHY

do what makes you happy, not just what makes you feel good. take every opportunity to learn (aka, shut up and listen sometimes). just because someone isn't 'like' you, doesn't mean they aren't like you - we all have something in common. remove thyself from bullshit as quickly as thou canst.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

so far i've only surfed, not hosted, i think couchsurfing is an absolutely amazing idea and service. i've met great people who have bolstered my faith in humanity and the art of hospitality.
