CURRENT MISSION
To love. (people. places. things.)

ABOUT ME
I am close to my family and in-laws. I guess I have done more international travel than travel through the U.S.
We have a dog named Ruby who is a big, sweet pup! She was born in May '12.

PHILOSOPHY
I am a Christian, and I try to follow Christ's charge for us to love others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love connecting with people and traveling. I think those two things help make the world a smaller place.
