About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live my dreams and cause no harm, to share the wealth

ABOUT ME

I lived in Denver for several years in houses full of people, working in kitchens, having a good time. I moved back to my hometown a year ago to be closer to family. I brought my motorcycle back from the mountains and now enjoy the soft, hilly landscape of Kentucky. I work for myself as a massage therapist and love it.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to experience as much as I can during my short time on this planet. I am so grateful for all that I've received, and I want to give back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once surfed on a moving couch. It was the pullout bed in an 18-wheeler truck, and the driver had picked me up hitchhiking. He drove me halfway across the country sharing wild stories, some funny and others disturbing, but all the while giving his space and time with total generosity.

Interests

MMA fight training, riding bicycles, motorcycles, settling in with a good book, discovering others' favorite music, cooking, salsa dancing, exploring, climbing, acrobatics, yoga

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my motorcycle from Denver to Minneapolis along backcountry roads, across the dusty rocks of the Badlands, through angry thunderstorms and visiting the Reservations of South Dakota. I rode and camped everywhere alone, and learned that I can take care of myself.
