Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Due to a recent life change, I am now in the process of re-inventing myself. As a result, I am now giving myself permission to see the word — starting with the US cities closest to me. I have decided to also build in a book writing tour, where I will be researching and developing content for my new book as I go along. This will be a unique opportunity for me to gather insights about how Christians from all walks of life can achieve a higher level of victory in their lives. I am looking for hosts who are primarily Christian who would be receptive to give feedback about their own experiences in knowing God. At the same time, I look forward to sharing insights about healthy living and my other areas of expertise that include design, online marketing, and self-publishing on Amazon.
