CURRENT MISSION

Get out into the world and learn about better ways of life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 28 year old college grad that studied Social Welfare as well as Peace and Conflict Studies. I love the outdoors, and having a good talk with good people. I have only used couch surfing a few times, but it's all been very positive.

PHILOSOPHY

“I truly believe that individuals can make a difference in society. Since periods of change such as the present one come so rarely in human history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world.” -Dali Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf. Only recently moved to a space I'll actually be able to host. I recognize that Spring Hill isn't a great tourist location, but if anyone wants to see KC or is passing through, let me know!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in Prague for 4 or 5 days and it was amazing, the hosts were so friendly and even left the key outside the door so I could get back in any time. I've also hosted and I like to think I'm pretty good at that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trip into Ghost Ranch, one of the most incredible places I've been, it changed my view of the world and my connection to nature and my neighbors.
Backpacked around Europe in '09, so many good times and sights it's hard to focus it. Was in the Peace Corps in Kazakhstan for almost 2 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn how to be more handy around a wood shop. I would love to learn how to be more self sufficient in the world where we depend on everyone else for our daily needs.
