About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share genuine experience with genuine people

ABOUT ME

I don’t pretend to be normal. I have better things to do.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live with as much purpose and intensity as I can without losing my perspective or my ability to slow down and savor the moment.
I believe in freely giving and receiving kindness.
I believe in the power of sincerity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love my home, my city and my state and love to share them.

I hope to enrich lives and be enriched in return.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only hosted so far, but the experience has been great.

Interests

I'm a perpetual student of just about everything. Stuff fascinates me.
I love good conversation. I love running. I love getting lost in new places. These things go well together too.
I love sharing food, friendship, wisdom and laughter.
I write, take photos and code.
