CURRENT MISSION

Traveling as much as I can with limited budget and time!

ABOUT ME

I joined Couchsurfing many years ago. I have surfed several times-- on a California road-trip (in San Francisco), a European whirlwind tour (in Milan), a road-trip through the Northwest (Portland, OR) and a road-trip through the Southwest (surfing in Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Albuquerque). I've also met people through couchsurfing in Switzerland and Ghana. I've had some very memorable experiences in far off destinations thanks to the project.

PHILOSOPHY

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” ― Mark Twain, Innocents Abroad

Interests

I love movies, music, food, books, being outdoors and traveling (of course staying off the beaten path as much as possible).
