ABOUT ME

I believe there's good in every person, I believe that even the smallest towns have interesting people to meet and unique things to see, and I want to see and do it all.

I love conversation, I appreciate a good natured debate, humor can be found even in the darkest of moments, and i believe happiness is easily found in the helping hands of good friends.

PHILOSOPHY

“For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.” Neil deGrasse Tyson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have a couch myself, BUT my best friend often hosts, and with his erratic work schedule, I help out sometimes by being at his house to welcome them, enjoy the company, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just recently had my first surfing in Atlanta. A great couple allowed us to stay in their beautiful home, shared great stories of travels and past surfers, even gave us relative strangers a house key to come and go as we pleased. I completely understand that this isn't to be expected from a host, but it showed a level of generosity and trust that just blows my mind!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to do social work with troubled kids and teens, and I still volunteer my time for the same cause. Helping other, seeing someone so young who had shut down emotionally and cut everyone off... seeing someone so lost suddenly see the light, seeing the possibilities that lay before them, seeing hope and optimism in their lives and in their families for the first time since meeting them...

No greater feeling in the world.
