CURRENT MISSION

My mission is summed up by Steinbeck:"And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected."

ABOUT ME

I love to meet new people and experience new things. I am down to earth and look for the best in people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we all have a purpose in life and that purpose can never be found by following the rat race that society tries to force us into. Every person is unique and,therefore, I believe their path should be unique. I am an optimist and I believe that most people are inherently good. I try to understand where a person is coming from before I lay any judgement on them.

Dream big. Live big.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to get involved by meeting people along the way during my travels. It would be cool to meet locals in the places we are going...it always enrichens my experience.

Back at home...I would love to host people whenever I can and show them a good time in Colorado.

Never had one (yet) but hopeful to get in to it.
