I'm a good listener.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

All good things. I am back in my hometown, and not planning on traveling for a while, but I still love to meet travelers.

Hospitality is very important to me, I want my guests to feel comfortable and right at home. Getting to know people is how you really get to know places!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Words for love.

Teach, Learn, Share

But my heart
beats slower than the lizard’s,
making
the dead to rise up
weeping
our own tears to bewilder us.
