CURRENT MISSION

Working towards becoming a really cool old person.

ABOUT ME
I recently finished a 2 year Peace Corps service in Peru working in the Community Environmental Management program. Now, I'm ready to see more of the world! Bought a one way ticket to Australia, will plan out the rest as I go.

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody's figuring it out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted years ago when I lived in Madison, WI, but had to stop due to roommate reasons. I'd love to experience the other side in my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some great people from around the world. It's a wonderful way to experience different cultures when you may not have the time or means to travel yourself.

Interests

I watch a lot of movies and TV shows. I retain useless knowledge about actors and directors. It really does nothing for me except impress someone at a party every 4th time or so. I love stand up, I want to try it some day. I've a decent voice and can harmonize in impromptu jam sessions, would love to learn more instruments (can dick around on ukulele). I've got some good stories and I know you do too.
