CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I like to experience the side streets of life.

"I'm an early bird and a night owl. So I'm wise and I have worms."
~ Michael Scott (The Office)

PHILOSOPHY

Be content in every circumstance, live for something bigger than your own understanding, and love genuinely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I figure I'm less likely to get eaten by sharks if I only surf on couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never been even slightly disappointed by learning something new about a stranger. I have met some of the most hospitable and interesting people through CS. I'm in a serious, long term relationship with CS.

Interests

Traveling is a given...but besides that I like to do anything in nature (hiking, camping, rafting, etc.).
