I want to learn more languages, visit more places, see more smiles, and hear more laughs.

I'm an American who has decided to see more than the 50 states, (although I have made it to 45 of them so far).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know that I'm out there, and I just have to find myself.

I'm going to be traveling soon, and I want to see more than what tourist guidebooks will recommend. If this trip goes well, I will hopefully be able to share more photos, stories, and details in my profile. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

The Count of Monte Cristo, Finding Nemo, Wall-E (or really anything by Pixar), The Art of NonConformity, The Great Gatsby, The Call of the Wild, High Fidelity, Fight Club, The DaVinci Code, The Great Escape, The Godfather, Field of Dreams, U2, Pearl Jam, Star Wars, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Prince, The Guess Who, The Rolling Stones, and anything you can dance to. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm still here. That's amazing to me. :)

I've made movies, houses, snowmen, meals, friends, and memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught acting and improvisation to children and adults.

I'm learning to play acoustic guitar. I'm wanting to learn more languages.

I've forgotten how to play the trumpet and how to speak both Spanish and German, and I'd love to have the opportunity to relearn all of them. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories. I have stories.

I've visited 45 out of 50 United States, and I've picked up cooking tips from all over. I'd happily cook a meal, mix a drink, sing a song, or trade stories with anyone who likes to eat, drink, or be merry. :)

I can help around the house, including cooking, cleaning, and carpentry.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahamas, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States
