I'm a quiet natured person and I like to keep life simple. . I try to stay aware of my surroundings and live in the moment. I enjoy exploring the outdoors, meeting new people, sharing stories, learning something new, meditating, playing games of any type, people watching, volunteering, wood working, cooking, going with the flow. If I can't make at least one person laugh or smile in a day then my day's not complete. I enjoy volunteering and helping others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to learn, live, laugh, share and explore this big blue planet from people that know and love their homes. In 2015, I travelled internationally for the first time in my life and had a wonderful couch surfing experience in Hawaii and Bangkok

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping out of an airplane at 10,000 ft!

Teach, Learn, Share

“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.”
― Pico Iyer
