CURRENT MISSION

Try to balance the desire to settle down with continued wanderlust.

ABOUT ME

I'm an American, been to 32 countries, and while I don't travel as much as I used to (five years nonstop!), I'm trying to carve out a niche for myself in New Orleans, while taking a few months out of the year to visit old friends, make new ones, and reach a few dream destinations.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't spent a lot of time with other Couchsurfers, but I have been able host about a dozen people in the last year--hoping for more to come!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some great experiences in Brazil--other than that, my best couchsurfing experiences (beyond hosting) are perhaps yet to come.
