CURRENT MISSION

Stop talking about traveling abroad and finally doing it.

ABOUT ME

I love getting out and meeting new people. I decided just recently that I am going to take a long trip to countries that don't speak any language I know, by myself. I can't wait to experience the culture shock.

PHILOSOPHY

I once saw a tombstone with the phrase "he never met a stranger" on it. I want my tombstone to say the exact same thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to use other people's couches. Free lodging is always a plus. I'm willing to share my living space with travelers and show them the St. Louis I know if they'd like to see it. If you have your own agenda and just need a place to stay that's cool too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Europe in a few locations and loved it. Everyone was great and it was one of the finest moments in my life. I've also hosted 9 people from all over the world and that's always a blast too. I've been inactive for a while but would love to host more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad in Istanbul and got to run around Turkey for 6 months. That was the most incredible time of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

This sounds interesting. I am going to come back and edit this one day. I don't think I am stand-out good on any one thing and I don't know A LOT of stuff about any one thing either. I am a dabbler of sorts. I will put further thought into this later.
