CURRENT MISSION

To create community and have as much fun as I can without getting in trouble or permanent scarring.

ABOUT ME

I come from an awesome family who I'm really close to. My upbringing was mostly trial and error. I grew up on a lake in New York state and spent all of our time in/on the water or on horseback. I traveled a lot growing up and then as soon as I could I started making road-trips around the country. Later when I started traveling abroad I realized how small the world is. I found myself living in several different countries and many people helped me out along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to pay forward the help and energy people have given me when I was traveling. I understand that the US isn't the most user-friendly place to travel and I want to help fellow travelers, especially foreigners! I have a cool little house and a spare bedroom... and a pool. The house is clean and I'm always up for going out and showing people around. I love cooking and having drinks with guests... hiking, biking...
I love to talk and share experiences with fellow travelers

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've traveled and lived in a lot of places in the world so I was couch surfing before couchsurfing.com. I always found it a great way to get to visit new places and get a feel for it.
