CURRENT MISSION

I took a page out of Maude's book to say that I'm always looking for the new experience.

ABOUT ME

Living it up in HotLanta... a recent transplant from the upper Midwest and loving it! I love traveling and seeing new cultures and meeting new people. The pleasure I derive from eating just about pales in comparison to anything else, and I'll try anything once (unless it'll certainly result in my death, then I'll have to think about it).

PHILOSOPHY

We may all be the same species, but we certainly aren't anything alike ... I want to travel as much as I can and meet people and experience cultures different from my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had some great experiences CSing... mostly been hosted as I travel quite a bit, but I'm finding myself at home in Atlanta more so open to having people stay with me when I'm in town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveled through the Pacific Northwest, Japan and many parts of Western Europe doing the Couch Surfing thing. So far it's been AMAZING!

Interests

Traveling, backpacking, kayaking, hiking, running, biking ... just about anything that'll get me outdoors and into nature. Other than that, soccer (aka football), visiting new and cool places, meeting people, people watching, eating strange foods (and lots of it!), hanging out with family and friends is good too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A night under the magnificent desert night sky in Joshua Tree... I go there often, but there's nothing like it. Billions of stars and only the sound of the gentle desert wind rustling through those iconic trees.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is too short to stay stagnant, experience the world while it, and you, are still here.
