Each day I send a good morning greeting to my closest friends and family. There is no better way to start a day than a good morning quote or joke from someone close to you. I am a minimalist and someone who is interested in making the very most out of today. I recently decided to make some large changes in my life including leaving a job I was unhappy with for years. To start my next chapter off on the right foot I am hitting the road for an 8000 mile adventure to see new places and visit friends and family I have not seen in years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and forming friendships along my travels. I believe that everyone has the capability of friendship if given the opportunity to express themselves without judgement. Travel and local culture are expanded by spending time with people who live somewhere you are only visiting.
