About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep fellow travelers off the floor!!! And of course share a story or two...

I get A LOT of requests so it may take me a little bit of time to respond to requests, with that being said last minute or overnight requests will likely not be accepted due to my schedule, additionally PLEASE do not send a request more than a month in advance, I won't know my schedule yet.

ABOUT ME

I love CS so much that I've been featured on this blog: http://www.ohmidog.com/2010/06/19/couchsurfing-in-albuquerque/comment-page-1/#comment-14644

PHILOSOPHY
There are no random acts. We are all connected. You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.

€When people stop sacrificing for one another, they lose what keeps them human.

Be the change you wish to see in this world.

I love to help International travelers really get a sense of American culture/traditions...therefore I have a list of "must do's":

Camping
