About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to bring smiles to faces

ABOUT ME

I had a pretty full life at the age of 34. I had very open minded, laid back parents growing up, so I was able to live a fun, free life for as long as I can remember. I have experienced a good array of things in my time, but through it all I'm happy to say I'm alive and truly enjoy meeting and helping people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we will be happier if we take a deep breath and understand that we are here for only a short while, so smile as much as you can. Help those around you if you feel that you can and always know that you can change you surroundings with a little perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to the CS project but I believe in it whole heartedly.I am willing to give a couch if I got one and be a thankful guest when I get one.

Interests

I study and read a good amount due to my schooling but other then that I love to dance, play sports and watch movies. But really more then anything I love talking to people and hearing their experiences and sharing our different perspectives about the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
