I am an adventurer, if I were staying with you, I'd most likely be gone quite a bit exploring. I love making new friends so, perhaps we could explore together. I've spent most of my life in the Midwest, I've got them good 'ole Midwestern values. I come from a large family, and I have been around children a lot. I am a tidy, kind, imaginative person that loves to create. I also enjoying helping around the house. I am down to earth, quiet sometimes, super goofy other times. I do my best to live each moment of the day with an open heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, couch surfing is a great way to have a more well rounded experience in comparison to staying in a hotel. Plus, it makes traveling a bit easier on the pocket book. It is a lovely way to meet new people and make friends. I enjoy the deep feeling of gratitude I get when another extends kind hospitality.
