ABOUT ME

Lover of cheese. Learner of life.

PHILOSOPHY

“...if you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.
The Lord will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail."

I believe these things can be done by loving one another and learning to share in one anothers' joys, embracing the good in every situation and in every person we encounter. Challenges are good things. God is radical. I want to be, too, and I'm still figuring that out...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't yet had the opportunity to host anyone. Thus far, I've only had one real CS experience- on a trip to Niagara Falls with a good friend, where we stayed with a really great host in Buffalo. I think the best way to experience a city is to spend your visit with locals who know it best, so I'm looking forward to future CS experiences both surfing and hosting!
