Detroit enthusiast and world citizen who loves a good story and a big cup of tea

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I adore travel and learning from people all over the world. I'm looking forward to meeting new people, hearing their stories of their homes and travels, and sharing what's happening in my city with them. I believe in community and the interconnectedness of all things, and hosting is a great opportunity to learn and share with friends I haven't met yet!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once flew the Goodyear Blimp over Ann Arbor. I was honorary co-pilot, which basically means I did whatever the pilot told me. And I was only 14.

What I Can Share with Hosts
