CURRENT MISSION

Stuff my eyes with wonder, learn as much as I can, and put good into the world. Travel folds in there nicely also.

ABOUT ME

Hearing people's stories fuels me. Personable and introverted, open minded and attentive. I would love to create a genuine connection with my hosts, preferably over a local dish, coffee, or wine, and the exchange of ideas. The wine is optional. I don't think I could do without the exchange.

PHILOSOPHY

Be engaged. Be emphatic. Be empathic. Live with your mind wide open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of the best and most weirdly definitive experiences I've had were afforded to me by Couch Surfing. There is no better way to connect with the world around you than to be invited into a stranger's home. It's such a unifying thing.

Interests

Running, reading, writing. Also learning and exchanging ideas. Museums, art galleries, and libraries are big ones.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me about something you love in the place where you live, and I will return the favor.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to share Alaskan recipes and campfire stories with you.
