CURRENT MISSION to live in the moment and be happy. I spent four months traveling around Europe in 2008. I had my first surfing experience in Vienna and it was incredible. Thank you couchsurfing.com! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Right now I am renting a furnished apartment in San Francisco. I've only had one experience and it was excellent. Our host showed us the local scene...bars, restaurants, music, architecture, parks and bike paths! Hoping to make it two great experiences soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raising a barn with the Amish in rural Pennsylvania.

Building a library in Nicaragua and meeting all the amazing people there.

Touring through the cavernous Silver mines in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic and being led by an elderly gentlemen and x-miner named Benjamin. He knows so much about the mines and loves showing people its special qualities.

Discovering amazing artists for the first time and experiencing art museums that I've never been to ...Kupka exhibit in Veletrzni Palace in Prague, Egon Shile exhibit at Leopold Museum in Vienna...
