About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I was a stranger and you welcomed me

ABOUT ME

I'm exploring the world before Episcopal seminary. I love to meet new people and learn about them. I like to laugh and have fun. I believe people want to be heard - I'm a good listener. Right now I live in Boulder Colorado which is a fun place to visit. Come see for yourself!

PHILOSOPHY

Love God and my neighbor, and laugh and sing a bit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think God wants us to welcome strangers into our lives so we can entertain angels unawares.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is so much more than offering and receiving a place to crash. CS is about hospitality and connection. CS has restored my trust and faith in the goodness of humanity.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Shantaram, The River Why, The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton and Bird by Bird by Anne LaMott. I love most music. I laughed at Borat. The Green Mile is a favorite movie. Slumdog Millionare may be the best movie ever made. The Bible speaks to me, as does Henri Nouwen. Neil Young rocks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've run with the bulls in Pamplona and swam with dolphins in Florida. I've been to the Holy Mt. Athos. What's more amazing these days is the magic that happens when two people who don't know each other can meet, make friends, and share the joy of life. That's why i joined CS and that's why I'm traveling around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Joy and suffering are close cousins. I lean into the pain of life in order to experience the beauty and blessing.
