I live and work in Redding, CA.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Those who visit foreign nations, but associate only with their own countrymen, change their climate, but not their customs. They see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with traveled bodies, but untraveled minds."
-Charles Caleb Colton

Interests

Reading. Writing. Coffee. Old brick buildings. Downtown lofts. New cities.
