CURRENT MISSION

Explore Detroit until I can't get lost anymore

ABOUT ME

My friends will tell you that I am energetic, charismatic, and easy-going, so I hope for your sake that they are telling the truth. I am a cyclist, vegetarian cook, and a volunteer dog-walker. I love animals, cooking and eating with new friends and old, swapping stories, and seeing the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Do no harm, leave places in better condition than you found it, eat slowly, and smile often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a bunch and hope to host and attend events in the future. Recently had an awesome hosting experience, so if you don't mind a futon, swing on by!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I biked around Lake Michigan this past summer (2011) and surfed with all kinds of folks. I can't host more than one or two in my current apartment, but I'd love to show surfers around my neighborhood!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once stayed with a family for 3 days in rural southern Mexico in the state of Chiapas. I woke up before the sun rose, when all the dang roosters started their mating calls, and made dozens of yellow tortillas from corn grown on the same land I had planted the day before.
