CURRENT MISSION

The unexamined life is not worth living - Socrates

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Minneapolis and will always call it home. I've been living in Seattle the last 4 years and that time on my own was exactly what I needed to know which values and parts of myself were truly mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It overwhelms me to think of all the places I have yet to see and the unique people I hope to meet. I plan to surf couches for years to come and be a pit stop for the adventures of others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not as much as I'd like. Through CS only Kansas City, Elko, Chicago, Gillette, and New York City. As far as couches, the coolest have been France and New Zealand.

"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist."

- Friedrich Nietzsche

"The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it."

- Henry David Thoreau

"I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me. My love's not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either. I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, and then come back to write about my thoughts, my emotions, as that person. But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I'll ever have. And you cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time..."

- Sylvia Plath
