CURRENT MISSION

Creating meaningful connections

ABOUT ME

I have decided to get out of the rat race that is the "American Dream." Soon enough I will give up my job and permanent residence in search of something more meaningful: lasting friendships, cultural connections and spiritual enlightenment...all while having a blast along the way. It's a tall order, but somebody has to do it!

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason; life is a series of lessons and once we've learned what we need it's time to move on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't had the honor of hosting yet but have met some great folks, through CS, in the Netherlands, Romania, Moldova, Wyoming & New Mexico. Good times!
