CURRENT MISSION

To become more humble through learning

ABOUT ME

I am trying to learn as much as possible through experience, and I hope that couch surfing can help. I like to read, take long walks, watch good movies, and have good discussions with friends. I'm trying to learn Russian; its moving along slowly, but surely.

PHILOSOPHY

One should always be growing and changing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed and hosted and loved both experiences! I took a break from both and am excited to jump back in again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Looking at aspens in Montana in the fall while riding a mule. :)
Watching waves crash against rocks in Monterey, CA.
Walking through Shelby Forest in TN.
Traveling through Europe with my brother and close friend.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've met some wonderful, lifelong friends through couchsurfing. My brother and I stayed with someone in 2014, and in 2018 he and his grandson visited us, just because the connection was that strong over so many years. There is a beautiful openness through couchsurfing that I enjoy sharing, more than experiences or skills. But I will cook for you if you host us. :)
