About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I think that if I drink enough coffee, I will cease to be mortal. This is my current mission.

ABOUT ME

I like words. I like to write songs. I like to study languages. I'm a Christian.

PHILOSOPHY

1. Everyone has faith in something.
2. Some things are more worth having faith in than others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still dipping my toes in. So, I may ask to crash on your couch, just to test the waters. I'll dive in if the water turns out to be nice.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a guy in Chicago who was couch-hosting a friend of mine. He turned out to be super cool.
