CURRENT MISSION

I like to laugh. I aim to laugh more everyday. And smile a lot too.

ABOUT ME

I am a goofy happy outdoorsy kind of person, always trying to brighten my day and others and lessen the negativity. I enjoy biking, hiking, breakdancing, making experimental music, writing lyrics/spoken word, making art - digitally and traditionally, etc etc, and not in that order.

I have two awesome sons, and super lovey yellow Labrador retriever part time who all absorb a lot of my love and focus, rightfully so...they are my light in life and are so very super awesome and full of premium goodness. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Stay in the moment, live in the now. Enjoy life and appreciate everything it throws your way, the good and the bad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to participate as much as my life "schedule" will allow. I am looking to surf on awesome couches when I get the opportunity to travel, and in the process meet awesome people. I also will do my best to attend events in my area, as well as events in areas that I travel to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few times so far, and it was most awesome and I loved every bit of those experiences. I hope to surf more in the future!

I've also met up with some great members of the CS community at events, and look forward to more encounters!
