CURRENT MISSION

Meet cool people, have interesting conversations, have adventures, make the world a little better...

ABOUT ME

I am a student of anthropology and religious studies. I enjoy reading and writing. I love to meet interesting people, and I am addicted to traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

We're all connected with each other (physically, socially, etc), so we have a moral obligation to look out for one another. Hopefully, we can have some fun while we make the world a bit better.

Hmm... maybe you should just meet me and I can explain myself in more depth...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My home is open to almost anyone passing through Bloomington, IN...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had one experience. I was traveling with a friend in Kyoto, Japan, and he set up a CS experience with a wonderful host. I did not end up staying the night, but it got me interested in this CS phenomenon. I knew I wanted to be a part of it.
