Let's see...I'm terrible at these "About me" descriptions. My life is a journey to seek inspiration every day. New places, people, experiences, information, etc. And then I reflect and write. I love my family above everything else. And I love making new friends. Everything else I'm sure you will learn when we meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a trip across the states. I packed my car with all of my worldly goods (I'm terribly poor at packing lightly) and off I went. I'm making up my plans each day on the fly and because of this I occasionally end up in a random town. I would love to explore said random towns and, if possible, have a roof over my head and a friendly soul to pull me out of the madness that comes from many solo hours in the car, tent, or wherever else. I have just joined the couchsurfing community so please don't think me too much of a weirdo without no references... I may be a weirdo, but a harmless, kind one!

Teach, Learn, Share

I plan to continue learning throughout my life. I want to become a teacher (of what? I don't know yet) when I have experienced more of life. I am an open book, I prefer to trust others and be my genuine self right off the bat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A friendly smile, good conversation, and supreme dish washing abilities.
