ABOUT ME
You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, everything is unfolding as it should.

If you know what poem that's from, you get 10 points. (If you only know where it's from because you just Google'd it, you get 5. I still reward your curiousity!)

PHILOSOPHY
"Turn away from the predictable, cliché, and reliable. Brave the void where the darkness is greatest. Trust the quiet, find the stillness, feel the calm. Then steadily think, speak, and move as if you were led. Behave as if your vision were clear. Anticipate the emotional rush that will come with your triumph. And as if by magic, as you raise your pen to write, you'll find the words have already been summoned, flooded in light that was there all along, in a world that has just as anxiously anticipated your arrival."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Update as of 6/12/18:
I broke my collar bone a few weeks ago and I'm taking a break from hosting while it heals. Good luck on your trip!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have had many wonderful experiences in the CS community, mostly as a surfer. Now that I have my own condo in the beautiful Boulder, Colorado, I want to offer some of the same goodness back to surfers. I have a guest room which I let surfers stay in exchange for help with cooking and posting items to sell online. If you are good at either of these things, you are welcome to stay! If you can contribute a couple of hours per day, that's ideal.
UPDATE TO THIS: For May 2018 and possibly June, I have a friend staying in the guest room. She's sometimes out of town in which case I'm open to CSers staying so feel free to request, but don't be surprised if the answer is no.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
The concept of couchsurfing and my ample amazing experiences of generosity and trust, are exactly the antidote I need for a healthy outlook about people! I couchsurfed my way all the way through Mexico, hitchhiking as we went (with good friend on CS-Emma Ohlund). I had a wonderful time!! My experiences in the US are fewer, but no less inspiring. I'm looking forward to more!
