CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to be grateful for the generosity of others to let me stay with them periodically while I transition from Ohio to California and then return the favor to other travelers once I'm settled.

ABOUT ME

i've been told once or twice that i'm a bit of an enigma. meet me and decide on your own. my version of myself and your version of me, might be very different so i hate to mischaracterize myself. you'll form your opinions and let me know and i just might learn something new about myself. i don't want anyone to have a preconceived notion of me.

PHILOSOPHY

be kind to all animals

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

never couched surfed but i love the idea. i think it's great to open your home to others and see what they have to offer.

Intereses

i like mostly everything and will likely give anything a try at least once, with the exception of sky diving. jumping out of a plane to certain death is not the least bit appealing to me, but anything else i'll probably give it a go.

• animals
• scuba diving

Música, películas y libros

i read so much at work and sit all day, i prefer to be more active in my spare time. the last concert i saw was a couple of months ago, rancid. great show.

Algo increíble que he hecho

went scuba diving in an approaching hurricane. cool b/c it was so rough and hard to even get in the water, but underneath, it was so calm and peaceful like nothing was wrong. also got to touch a wild stingray in the open water (not at a zoo/scheduled petting). my sister got the whole thing on video. when we watched it later and turned the volume up, we could even hear my muffled squeal from being so excited to see and touch one.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

i want to learn and grow from others' experiences and wisdom. i'm sure i have plenty to share, but you never really know how you will affect others or what they will learn from you.
