CURRENT MISSION

Getting the Word out

ABOUT ME

I grew up near the mountains of Colorado. Then I lived in Wisconsin for a while because of family, taking a few years off to travel in Europe. I'm a Christian, and I live my life that way. I love to laugh, joke, and be sarcastic. I'm always looking for the next adventure. I worked in Heidelberg, Germany, for seven years as a proofreader for a huge software company and now work for them remotely. Friends and family are very important to me. I LOVE nature. And good wine and chocolate.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life for Christ, and I'm trying to enjoy the world he created, along with the people he created. Spread the Word, stay positive, find the good in every situation, and learn from others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've used CS many times. I've been hosted several times and gone to quite a few group meetings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started out as a member of hospitalityclub.org and had tons of great experiences through that organization, so it would naturally follow that I'm a member of couchsurfing.com. I joined up when there were only 30,000 members, if you can believe that. Surfing is such an excellent way to meet great people and learn so much. My sister and I surfed across Europe during the summer of '07 and had a blast.
