ABOUT ME

Youngest of seven kids, I grew up in Wisconsin, near Milwaukee (USA).

PHILOSOPHY

The only actions you can control are your own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Thus far, only surfing but would like in the future, starting this August (cross your fingers) to host as well

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Aside from one CS host, I have felt extremely welcomed in all my experiences couchsurfing in New Zealand and now I can add Canada to the list as well. I hope where ever my life takes me I can find a willing couchsurfer and then in return be a host as well.

Interests

Any outdoor activities, reading, art, films,listening, conversing, laughing and participating in the world around me.

I find food is what connects the entire planet and if we take care of how we plant, harvest, and produce the world's food, restoring the cycle, then our planet can be restored and cherished.
