CURRENT MISSION

Mission in life is to be happy and successful. Experiencing new places, people, and cultures makes me a better rounded person.

ABOUT ME

I am traveling every break I get from work. Especially with cold Iowa winters, I get very ancy to pack my bags. Would love going to Europe soon; maybe my next trip???

PHILOSOPHY

Live life like there is no tomorrow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only made one trip using couchsurfing but there will be plenty in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I saw a clip about Couch Surfign on T.V. and looked it up online. My buddy signed up when plans fell through for Spring Break my senior year of college. We stayed with a very nice guy in Panama City Beach, Florida. He was a perfect host and made me realize how great of an idea couchsurfing is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Mount Yale in Buena Vista, Colorado and seeing a Mountain Goat 30 yards from me. It's amazing how such a massive creature doesn't have a care in the world--not even a hiker out of his element.
