ABOUT ME

* for confused potential hosts, no, I am not back in Kansas, nor have I ever been, but the creepy satellite that follows around my phone hovers above there so that is why my last login appears to be from that elusive location.

In the midst of traveling around the world from South America to Western Europe and getting an education post-university

PHILOSOPHY

happiness is the goal, don't deny it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While traveling, being hosted by locals has greatly enriched our travels and has, more or less, restored my faith in the kindess of humanity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So many accounts of generosity and hospitality on the part of all of our gracious hosts while traveling are too numerous to name. At this point, going from one host to the next feels more like visiting friends, not 'backpacking' -- pretty special.

Interests

spending time with people that are either very similar or very different to me and almost everything in between, art, yoga, not planning too much
