CURRENT MISSION

"Surround yourself with people you enjoy, and when you have the chance to meet someone different, listen to what they have to say." -my mother

ABOUT ME

I thrive on intelligent conversation, mind-stimulating travel, pensive observation, and experiencing the everyday opportunities of life. I value open-mindedness, passion, the environment, peace, love, and happiness.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace, love, and understanding

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope for the opportunity to exchange cultural views with a few curious characters through hosting or meeting up for a cup of tea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few English nomads in California this past summer, and decided to join. Since then I have couchsurfed in Greece, Italy, and France, and am hoping to spend some time on the couches in the US this year.
