CURRENT MISSION

To meet the people of the world through the medium of couch...

ABOUT ME

Easy to get along with. I love traveling, meeting new people, and learning about the complexities this world has to offer.

My home is in Greenville, South Carolina.

PHILOSOPHY

"Tiger got to hunt,
Bird got to fly,
Man got to sit and wonder 'why why why?'
Tiger got to sleep,
Bird got to land,
Man got to tell himself he understand."
-Bokonon (Kurt Vonnegut from Cat's Cradle)
