About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Thoreau said it well: Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you've imagined.

ABOUT ME

I sometimes think I collect jobs like it's a hobby. As a performer, I found creative ways of paying the bills with odd jobs here and there. Traveling is my passion, and I jump at any chance to do it! I love meeting new people from all walks of life. I am ever grateful for my life, friends, and family. Laughter is the best medicine!

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment, live every day to its fullest. Planning is all well and good (and necessary to a point), but you must be willing to take the twists and turns life's road throws at you. Take them with pizazz, and it makes life that much more interesting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not hosted as often as I'd like. I have been more able to meet for coffees and such and have happened upon other couchsurfers while traveling. I think this site is fantastic - a beautiful way of bridging communities worldwide.

Just one? Impossible. Here's a few: canyoning in Slovenia, hanggliding in Switzerland, playing with monkeys in Gibraltar, watching Flamenco in Spain...

Teach, Learn, Share

Be flexible. This is a necessity when traveling. Also, be open to new experiences. There will be a lot you'll encounter you don't expect and these are often times the most exciting!
