There are many, many great things about people, and I find the best part of any person is their authentic self. That is what I am aiming for. Authentic living whether or not is it pretty or trendy. I aim for a healthy and simple life with deep connection to the people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hearing other people's adventures gets me so jazzed about traveling. I love the spirit of adventure that travelers naturally have, and I would love to be inspired by what you are doing and where you are going.

Interests

There is a quote that I heard recently that I really loved that goes:
"I have loved. I have been loved. The rest is nice."
The more I do and see, the more I realize how important family and friends are.
