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.

我为什么加入 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.
