CURRENT MISSION To follow my bliss and meet some interesting people along the way. ABOUT ME I love to travel. I've covered most of the US, a dab of Canada, a dash of Mexcio, a good helping of Europe and a teeny pinch of Central America. Would love to taste South Asia next. I'm a poet and an English professor. Although I hail from the Upper Midwest, I've lived in Las Vegas for over ten years and have seen the city change quite a bit. PHILOSOPHY Open mind, open heart.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Please note that I live in Boulder City, Nevada. I am located about thirty miles southwest of Las Vegas and I don't get to the strip much. If you happen to be traveling out to Hoover Dam, look me up! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Before something like CouchSurfing existed, I bummed around Eastern Europe and stayed in people's houses. It was a fantastic experience. I met a lot of wonderful people, and got to learn about cultures from the inside.
