I have lived in Oklahoma for most of my life, but also in Memphis, Birmingham, Portland (OR), and Oakland - I like to work hard, but am very laid back. I love people and I love to learn.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is most fulfilling when invested in the service of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined CS, but I intend to host surfers and do some surfing as well. I'm into CS because it's a way to have a fuller travelling experience, getting to know new people and immersing myself in new communities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never thru CS, but my travels are usually based on who I know and where so, couch surfing and backyard camping have been staples of my travel experience.
