CURRENT MISSION

have a nice life, have a nice death

ABOUT ME

Talking about myself is rough. I'd rather talk to you. In a nutshell; open-minded yet opinionated, free-spirited but level-headed. I love people. I love learning, traveling, new places, and everything in between. I never get bored.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice. It goes a lot farther than you'd think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just barely learned this thing existed but I'd love to participate by crashing on your couch constantly. Currently working on new living situation so once that's settled I'm down for ya'll to come through my house as well.

Interests

My days can be simplified down to this: good books, live music, great friends, hazy nights, quality conversations, movie referencing, and a whole lot of daydreaming. Now that I have a little money traveling is making a bigger impact than anything.
