CURRENT MISSION

Live a meaningful life; tell great stories; listen to yours; give back.

ABOUT ME

I like learning--languages, cultures, people--and finding open-minded people who care to exchange words.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to keep surprising myself and let others do the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm keeping my door open as often as possible and hoping yours is as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend, Jenna (check her out: https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2000022671/profile), first hosted folks in Indianapolis then we first tried out surfing in Ireland. We met some fantastic people in Dublin, Killarney, and Galway--possibly the most generous individuals we've met. It was a great first go.

We've had the pleasure of hosting a few good people from the U.S. (all good)--several moving across the country or traveling the same on bicycle (awesome), as well as persons from Mexico, Belgium, and Russia.

Why am I here? Same reason as you, I imagine--having travel as a common interest, being able to help others and connect with people--all the good stuff.
