About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Building my Karass

ABOUT ME

A lifelong traveler who values community, family, friends, novels, music, and of course food. As life goes on I often wonder if I'll reach a time when I don't look back a few years and wonder who that guy was; I hope not.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a play in which we all get a verse to contribute, I'd like to do my part as well as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed a few times thanks to recommendations by some friends. I've hosted a few surfers and they've all been good experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'd say I'm an intermediate couchsurfer

Interests

I love to learn how the world works, science and nature captivate me and I enjoy appreciating both as a student and as a passerby. I spend a good deal of my time working on the water, I prioritize spending time out of doors and finding excuses to be creative. I enjoy being inspired by others and also spending time with my own thoughts. Reading, writing, music, drawing, photography, soap making, hiking, and diving are all interests I have....
