"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again"--Og Mandino

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've moved 20+ times starting at an early age, so it's not hard to see how my love of the road and new places is pretty much in my blood.
I find myself re-energized by new faces and spaces, always looking out for those connections.
Hoping to meet some fine folks that will expand my views and help me grow as a human being.
