CURRENT MISSION

Keep my goldfish alive.

ABOUT ME

Jump off cliffs, eat pizza, drink, dance, sing, get in strange new uncomfortable situations. But my references do a better job of summing me up than I ever could.

I graduated from San Francisco State as an English / Creative Writing major.

Just traveled and made some music. Check it! http://newyearsunbearmusic.com/

I published a novel about my Native American heritage. Read about my reverse Dust Bowl migration here:

I published a creative non fiction narrative about Couch Surfing and my adventures coming home from Italy:

I used to be allergic to cats, but my feline love overpowered my sneezes. Dogs are still cooler though :P

I am a vegetarian, but I am open minded to everyone's different eating habits.

I love to swim. I think I was a fish in my past life.

See you soon, under the Moon, la di da da.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything that Albus Dumbledore said.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I sleep on your couch, you sleep on mine. We basically have so much fun it hurts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sure, it's nice to have a free place to stay. But Couchsurfing isn't about seeing the world cheaply. It's about enriching your travels in a way that money cannot. With people and new experiences. By doing away with the economic exchange, we've created something pure. It's not about giving or taking, it's about sharing. I've met my best friends through this website. I love them more than anything in this world. It's still unbelievable to me how couchsurfing has opened my eyes. This isn't a travel method. It's a lifestyle.
