Very curious and adventurous. Aspiring artist turned software engineer (it pays reliably well). Always working on something. Always exploring. But for now, stuck in Kansas City area for another year, making the most of it.

Will be in Lawrence KS for the Busker Festival Friday/Saturday May 24/25. Want to meet up? Got a 2nd bed free in my hotel room? I promise to behave.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because couch-surfers are great people! So interesting. Also, a way more authentic and special way to experience a place.

Interests

Love nature, grass between my toes, being a free spirit, dipping in hot springs, sharing a home made meal with others.
