my top priorities are having fun, laughing 'til it hurts, and being useful. i don't like rules or labels. i believe in being kind and generous to everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i love traveling and adventuring, meeting new people and saving money.

when i travel, i like to get out of the tourist zones and see what the local area and life is like. this is so much easier to do when you have a couchsurfing host who will either share their knowledge of their town or show you around.

money sucks. i think everyone should be able to travel, and removing the major expense of lodging makes traveling way more accessible. couchsurfing helps quench my thirst for a more equal distribution of wealth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

last summer i camped on the beach of north manitou island. not far from home, but totally beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

i enjoy talking with people and finding common interests. let's talk about where we've traveled, where we want to go, how we spend our time, and our philosophies on life. i know a little about a lot and enjoy exchanging information.

What I Can Share with Hosts

i'm super easy to host. i like clearly communicated expectations, and appreciate honest and genuine conversation.

if you have time and want to hang out and show me around, that's great. if you're busy and want to do your own thing but can give me some advice on your neighborhood and community, that's great. ideally, i like a good mix of both.

i'm clean and tidy, and will respect your space and time.

i'm verified and bonafide. i only stay with folks who are also verified and have references. safety first!

did you read this far? if so, tell me a good joke when you message me.
