CURRENT MISSION

To collect and experience stories of kindness

ABOUT ME

I'm currently traveling around the country collecting audio stories of acts of kindness (The Kindness Project).  I turn these stories into short audio pieces for radio. A huge part of this project will entail meeting lots of new people, which is where I hope couchsurfing will play a role! I'd love to either meet up for a drink or stay with fellow couchsurfers depending on their (your?) situation!www.thekindproject.org

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun? Be kind?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can and I'm excited to gain more experience surfing myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love the diversity of people who have stayed with me, some drive BMWs up to my house, some hitchhike...it's wonderful to meet people who just want to connect with others.

Interests

Tasty food, interesting people, good friends...interesting people who become good friends, a good (or bad, depending on the situation) bottle of bourbon

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
