Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
We live for the dares that we make for ourselves... Love stronger, laugh harder, go further, push back, get ahead, forgive... and in the end... we have set our hearts on fire from being alive. BE ALIVE <3
ABOUT ME
I'm kind of a midget, I LURVE to drink beers and sorts, music has changed my life, I wish I knew how to swear in polish, pluck a few strings on the guitar, think hippos have bad teeth.... and I totally understand how hard traveling can be sometimes. Life is FULL of awesome people/places and I intend on finding them!!
PHILOSOPHY
Everything is at its peak of perfection. Had it not been for the broken roads behind us, we would not have become the spectacle of what we are today. Not to say that it won't get better, but right now, it is at its very best.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
:Along with my household, we have hosted a HANDFUL of surfers... who have all enriched my life/opened my eyes in some magical ways. I try to be a friendly and helpful personality when people stay with us...
PS... I may try *really hard* to get you smammered while you're here!! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Windows wide open, stereo cranked, sun and wind in my hair, foot on the pedal... just driving across the country! Honestly, it seems so simple but it was certainly the most liberating and pure feelings of freedom and nirvana... unbarred.
