About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have fun doing good things that matter.

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent college graduate (Bachelor of ARTS? AHAHAHAHAHAHA), and I'm postponing having my soul drained by the traditional American workplace.

I'm totally new to this--never really been anywhere or done anything, and I think that needs to change. Hope to find new people and things and expand.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry, be happy, pet puppies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't yet, but hope to get out there.

I'm looking to experience each place I stay--I want to get to know you and your town and live as a local. I hope to make every place I stop a destination, not just a pass-through.

I like to give in return for your hospitality. Want help with something? I'm there. I can help with your car, computer, kitchen sink, help clean up, edit your dissertation, whatever. I wouldn't quite say I'm a jack of all trades, more of a 9 of most trades.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far--eager to get started!

Interests

Dogs, rock climbing, fiddling with electronics, hiking, craft beers.

Been chased by wild horses in the mountains of northern New Mexico. It's scarier than it sounds.
