CURRENT MISSION

To learn the most about myself and others in my short stint as a human being on this planet!

ABOUT ME

I spend my time designing/printing t-shirts, playing with my dog, going to school for International Studies, working ( I am a server/bartender at an Italian Restaurant in Downtown Champaign ), buying/drinking wine, cooking, reading, exercising, hanging with friends

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun while you can. Life is too short to take yourself seriously. Live for the moment -- it's all we really have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am more than willing to host travelers if they are willing to make the trip down from Chicago (about 2.5 hours south).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met up with a couple of individuals through couchsurfing. I am so pleased that there is a website which allows like-minded people to meet up and share their homes and their hometowns with other interested travelers.

For every grain of sand on the earth, there are one million stars in the entire universe!

When the polar ice caps start melting (more), there is going to be a HUGE land grab on the arctic ocean, and we must be able to resolve this scenario peacefully.
