CURRENT MISSION

Learn about the world

ABOUT ME

I really care about people and I love helping others. I love more than anything getting to learn about other cultures. Sometimes I like to just be at home and relax and sometimes I like to go out and have fun. I enjoy going places and seeing new things, but I usually have to use a lot of sunblock. I really like trying new foods and I'll eat almost anything except lamb or goat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and surfed several times, and I always really enjoy it. I have met a lot of wonderful people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had such a wonderful experience couchsurfing and hosting. Everyone I meet is different and unique and just wonderful people. Participating in couchsurfing allows people to get to know others they may have never met otherwise. It is so much better to get a perspective from the locals rather than just visiting all of the touristy places and not really knowing what the place is about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was working in Central California and spending the night in a tent in a cornfield collecting data with no one for miles around when a helicopter landed in the middle of the night and woke me up and the pilot invited me to ride in the helicopter and look through the night vision goggles. I got in the helicopter in my pajamas, and it was so amazing.
