About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become a world citizen.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy the adventurous exploration of urban areas more so than nature.

PHILOSOPHY

To make an impact on others lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have gotten to know the local CS community here in Louisville through numerous social activities. I helped plan and host surfers during the Halloween invasion of Louisville, and have hosted others on numerous occasions. I have traveled to many other Midwestern cities with other couchsurfers and have met and become friends with many amazing people through the couchsurfing project.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

With NOABELLES and a few others, I've joined in an invasion of both Indianapolis and St. Louis. Hosting a couple in town for the KY Derby was great as I really got a chance to make new friends out of the experience. I have also traveled to Cincinnati with couchsurfing and helped host and plan Louisville's invasion. While in Louisville, I've been a regular at the Monday meet-ups.
