About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make someone's day better everyday.

ABOUT ME

I am someone who hates to not be up to something, mischievous or otherwise. I love being active and outdoors. I am always up for a fun time and am more likely to say yes to just about anything. I have a craving to I'm pretty easy going and get along with almost everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't take life too seriously, you may not get out alive."

I push myself to improve in anyway. Everyday I make an effort to try something new or learn something new. That way I can always go to bed feeling accomplished.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm surfing because life is too short not to see more of the world and meet more of our companions in it. I love traveling and no one knows a city better than someone who lives there.

Interests

If it involves people, the outdoors, or adrenaline pumping I'm game. Outdoor adventures and meeting new people are definitely top two.

I've recently started rock climbing and have been trying to get out and backpack/hike more while I can. I'm an avid volleyball player and love a good workout of any type.

I'm big into dancing and enjoy just listening to music, even though I may not be the most knowledgeable about all genres. I also thoroughly enjoy finding great new beer whenever I travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening with Motown, R&B, country and classic rock. Although I don't really dislike any music that I have come across.

I'm a huge sucker for a good romantic comedy and Sci Fi movies. Anything that makes me think or feel good after watching are always favorites as well.

My reading list is a variety of action, mystery, sci fi, and contemplative. I love a book that is well written but even more one that I can get wrapped up in. Most of the time they are one in the same.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have napped in all 48 continental states in the United States. I have also recently been scuba dived the Great Barrier Reef and hiked rim to rim in the Grand Canyon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am more than willing to teach anyone to dance either hip hop or swing. I love food and love to experiment in the kitchen, although it doesn't always work out. I can teach volleyball and the basics of rock climbing. I have plenty of travels and stories to share as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

More than willing to cook, clean and share some great stories of my adventures. Also, I'm always into finding great beer in every place I visit so the first round would definitely be on me.
