ABOUT ME
I'm pretty short, and have been for a while. My favorite movie has been "Ghostbusters" since before I was old enough to realize it isn't a documentary. I don't have a dog, but I wish I did (or a goat). I like writing, sometimes, and have an internship with a New York Times Bestselling Author. I used to co-host a late night talk show at my college. I was the co-winner of an 80s Night costume contest at a Seattle Mariners' game and won a trip to Disneyland in front of 30,000 people.
PHILOSOPHY
My motto is my blood type: B positive.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I try to brighten anyone's day who I couch surf with, I guess.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I used Couch Surfing to stay in New Orleans while I was volunteering to rebuild houses ruined in Hurricane Katrina.
I have spent plenty of time on friends' couches when I have travelled back and forth in Washington state, and once lived in a small closet for five months.
I also couchsurfed in Canberra, Alice Springs, and Brisbane in Australia.
I couchsurfed in Cardiff and Taff's Well, Wales.
I couchsurfed in Schwetzingen and Berlin in Germany.
I would love to someday host some couchsurfers, but will need a couch first, and not many travelers stop in where I live.
Interests
Cheez-Its, dinosaurs, 80s music, baseball, sprinkles, standing up on paddle-boats, the notion that Batman is ticklish
