CURRENT MISSION
Live simply, keep smiling
ABOUT ME
I am currently living in Denver, CO with my Girlfriend in a community house called the Post Pony Palace. We live with 6 others and cook a vegan community meal every night for each other and all visitors. We have a garden and we are always looking for ways to be involved in our community and how to provide something of value to others.
I believe in community and putting yourself out there, because this is when you meet the most incredible people with the most incredible stories. I love traveling by public transport and hitch hiking.
I am currently working on a project called the Handmade Homemade Market in Denver - check it out: denverhaho.org
PHILOSOPHY
A person is a success if they wake up in the morning and go to bed at night and in between do what they want to do.
- Bob Dylan
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love the people that I have met and hope to be able to host again once I am not living in a community house that has perpetual couch surfers!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have surfed a few times, once in South Africa and a few other times. In SA I surfed with the most generous person, showing us all around Johannesberg and introducing us to his roommates and important places to see!
