About Me

I was born at a very young age and have been growing older ever since. I'm very outgoing at first, but once you get to know me I'm real shy.

Curious, grateful, showers often. Recently chased by a pack of wild dogs in Guatemala. That was as terrifying as it sounds. Usually alternating between laughter and reflection. Was in the music business during a former life -- now working to make awesome museum tours by day and writing by night.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

St. Augustine said "the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”

I think it's the same with people. Our own experiences are only one page in a huge book waiting to be written. I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to meet and connect with people with a wide range of backgrounds to share our stories, learn each other's worldviews, and find common ground.

P.S. I'm new to Couchsurfing, but am a regular on Airbnb. Here's a link to my Airbnb profile with reviews: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/34688342

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
