I am a dig junkie and picker at heart. Continuing to value the importance in recycle, reuse and repurposing.

Making use of something no longer wanted, drives my motivation. A piece of clothing, a broken frame.. etc. Everything has a purpose and sustainability is key.

Continuing to learn the history of anything and everything. Strong curiosity and keeping aware of culture, community, and choice keeps me moving everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet new people and be able to travel inexpensively. Nothing better than traveling with someone who know a thing or two about the destination. Interested in traveling with a guide and keeping an open mind when exploring new places.
