CURRENT MISSION

World peace by means of futons.

ABOUT ME

Directions are for street signs. I want to do a million different things and explore and dig everybody. I am currently loving on Nevada City, CA and if you're planning to swing by this amazing town you know why you should be here; it needs no introduction.

I have an addiction to travel and meeting new people and learning new things about all the cultures in this ginormous world. I'm really open-minded and I'll talk to anyone about pretty much anything. I just want to learn.

It doesn't take a lot to make me happy. Just some friends or some music or some coffee or a roof over my head. I have an amazing Victorian era home and a stoop that looks over downtown Nevada City.

I think we'll get a long just fine, because I've rarely met a person that I didn't like at least a little.

PHILOSOPHY

Positivity and good spelling are essential. Necks are for looking left, right, and forward, not backwards. Be here now and love all of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm brand new to this site, but I'm looking to start by offering my lumpy, comfy couch to a happy, travel-weary love of a person. I am a little new to Nevada City myself, but know the spots to go and the people to meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on innumerable floors, beds, couches of my friends, but never those of people I don't know. But hey, we all have to start somewhere!

Interests

Airwaves and radio waves and the good old water kind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.! That's always the fun fact I tell people when playing ice breakers. Amazing? I don't know. Nerdy? Definitely. Proud of it? You bet.
