CURRENT MISSION

To win a game of connect four in three moves.

ABOUT ME

I graduated from College last May and after spending the fall in Post Falls, Idaho, working construction for the family company, I moved down to Boise to take a class from Boise State College in the spring. School recently finished and now I'm planning on traveling to China this August to teach English for a year.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is growth. I am always trying to learn new things about others and myself, ways to improve and be of service. Life is experiential. I learn by experiencing the world first hand. Life is relational. My conception of self, my value and self-purpose is woven into the life of the community that I'm in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm somewhat new to CS but I have a few friends who are CS veterans and have shared many positive stories with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really don't have much experience to date... but hopefully soon.

Interests

I love a number of things, like running the outdoor trails in Boise, reading books on philosophy, English, and communication; I love listening to music, hanging out with friends, and just enjoying the simple things in life.
