About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel more, meet people, and not let the economy beat me! :-)

ABOUT ME

Hmmmm... well I am all about bringing the laughter and smiles. Its just my purpose in life I guess. I choose to be open-minded and thoughtful of others while expecting the same from those I encounter. Life is too short to spend closed to the possibilities people have to offer you by sharing their experiences. Other than that..... I love to eat!!

PHILOSOPHY

What makes me happy in life is that I have great friends. No matter where I go in life I strive to find good friends b/c they are the light of life if you open yourself to them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I started b/c my friend Amanda turned me on to this. She went all over Africa and Europe and used this community to do a lot of that. Living in Minneapolis now I like to show people around if they want which helps me learn more about my own region.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have traveled to Sylva North Carolina and couch surfed during my time exploring the Smoky Mountains. I have also hosted 2 ladies from Sweden who were in my town to see a horse show. I have also couch surfed in Germany and France. So far all great experiences! Glad to active again here.

Interests

Hmm.. Sort of a dork. Comics, video games and all the other such. But since I am a wildlife biologist you can easily catch me camping, fishing, hiking, and simply being outside. That being said I love to hit a club and party all night. Guess you can say I am a little of everything and I am open to anything!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like listening to all sorts of music. I'm not particular to a specific genre. Open my my mind to new music!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Held a huge Albino Python around my body. That was both creepy and awesome all at the same time.
