About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see the world through the eyes of the locals, and bring cultural understanding between the thousands of different people in this world.

ABOUT ME

Hello All,
I am a new international traveler(Ireland in March), though i have traveled some of the U.S. lately, Texas and Northern California. I am from a very small island in the middle of lake Michigan, with about 400 year round residents. I just found out about this site and i cant think of a better way to see the world, it is exactly what i would like to do. In the last couple years I have found out that I really want to see the world and experience other cultures, i cant think of anything i want to do more. I love the outdoors, hiking, mountain climbing, biking, you name it, but i also am a sucker for a good city experience, I really like live music. My favorite music is old country, but not in a rude, ignorant way, i am very open. I love non mainstream music, local stuff. I look forward to sleeping on some couches.

PHILOSOPHY

well............, I am still working on that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well i just started so i really don't know, i imagine i will donate some money or do more, if this turns out like i think it will. This is probably one of the best ideas i have heard of and i look forward to helping more. Right now i live in Williamston Michigan, U.S., and i really cant encourage anybody to visit, there are so many cooler places, but if anybody happens to be in the area for some reason i have a couch or two.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
