CURRENT MISSION

Help You Help Me in our Worldly Wanderings!

ABOUT ME

I've lived, studied and traveled extensively around this fine world and never intend to stop. My savings account = my travel account. period. Once I have enough, I take off to the next destination. During my down time from travel, I roost in Austin, TX where I relish in the live music scene and fantastic music festivals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CouchSurfing a few years ago but did not have time to build my profile before I took off for a few months. Thus, I never got to benefit from its amazing network of people! I continue to travel a lot and want to become more involved as my friends have testified that it is a wonderful resource to meet new faces and see new places. And that's priceless in more ways than one.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far the most experience I've had is making recommendations in Austin to people who have come through. I have never lived anywhere suitable for hosting guests but would absolutely love to meet couchsurfings coming through town and show them around!
