CURRENT MISSION

to see what's good, meet who's good

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Be simple, be frugal. Be humble and patient. Nothing is only about you, so take experiences in stride.

(I'm not enough of any of these qualities, but I try.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hoping to surf some couches, hang out with some new people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed several times

Interests

Music is my biggest interest of all. I play saxophone and piano, and I am always up for seeing live shows. I'm into exploring cities and nightlife as well as nature. Favorite physical activities: running, biking, bouldering, pretty much anything outdoors!
I'm open to any kind of conversation: social issues... personal ideas and thoughts ... or silly drunk banter. Even if we disagree I'll get something out of the experience, I just like meeting new people!
I also love languages and chocolate get at me
