CURRENT MISSION

Well, right now I just need a place to stay while I'm in Detroit for a job interview, but after that I will no longer be living with parents and can't wait to contribute to the couching community!

ABOUT ME

I'm in school for speech-language pathology and looking for a place to stay for 4-5 days in Detroit, MI. I have a job interview there and want to kick around the city for a few days to see if it's as bad as all the news media and stuff has said it is. Hopefully I'll find someone with some Detroit pride to counteract popular opinion.

PHILOSOPHY

We're all just a mix of genes and experience so get off your high-horse!
