Most weekends I enjoy goofing off with my best friends. They are my family and I couldn't ask for better. After a while, though, I need an adventure. I enjoy learning what it's really like to live in other cities and countries and seeing local hangouts I would never encounter otherwise. That's where you come in! There's a lot I'd like to learn about life and I'd love for you to help.

So if there's something you'd like to try, if there's something you'd like to try, ask me I won't say no - How could I? - Morrissey, The Smiths.

My roommate is a community farmer who takes great interest in social issues, and for money I'm a substitute teacher. I'd like to think I'm a Jack of all trades, but I'm really a crack of crapshoots. Oh, and we recently got some chickens!

Philosophy: We're here to create.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sometimes I enjoy hosting, but a lot of the time I'm too busy for it. When I travel, I would much rather connect with other travelers and locals than be with people I already know or alone in a hotel.
