Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, and I'm always eager to make some new friends along the way! I like getting a taste of what it's like to live somewhere that I can't get in a hotel.

Interests

I'm a long-time creative writer. Outside of short stories, I've written for an online satire magazine. Aside from that I'm passionate about making games as a way to tell interesting stories in new ways.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking along the Pictured Rocks in Northern Michigan. Over 3 days and 30 miles, I passed at least 4 distinct biomes and enjoyed a stunning vista of the Great Lakes.

Teach, Learn, Share

My biggest goal is cultural exchange, so whatever I can learn about a new culture (and teach about mine) is a wonderful gift. I've also got a treasure trove of cheesy jokes to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always happy to help out with housework and heavy lifting! I can also help with technical issues dealing with computers, internet, or TV.
