The more places I go to, the more I want to go to!

I tend to be more extroverted when traveling. I look for the good in people and expect mutual respect and consideration. I believe this should come naturally.

"For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience." -The Beach

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've made some good friends through here and have utilized CS to host, surf, and meet up. It's certainly inspiring, but also unfortunate how fleeting travel relationships are. I wonder if there's some force at play that makes us more apt to getting along because we're on the road and are optimistic about meeting strangers, or whether this lifestyle really just attracts a different type of person.

I've surfed, hosted, and attended meet ups in North America, Europe, and Asia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

...Cliff jumping in Rhode Island, camping on the beach in Cape Cod, quitting a job that wasn't right for me, thinking I might die as I fell down a mountain in Alaska, being chased by a wild elephant in the jungles of Thailand...
