CURRENT MISSION

Grow.

ABOUT ME

Currently on the road in SE Asia, usually living in the lovely little tourist town of Medora, ND. I thrive off of conversation and interaction with others. I have an incurable passion for life and intensity but I most enjoy simple things. Completely unsure of where or what I want to be at any point, but trying to create positivity and space to grow for myself and those around me in whatever I do. I try not to take myself too seriously. I want to see and learn many things. I typically keep a positive perspective and ride the waves of life - because really, what else can we do?My livelihood of the moment is my passion. I've been a cook, a DJ, a music director, a bartender, and a student thus far. Also ever itching to be in a large city or a very small town. Or in a bar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and host! I plan to travel more soon, host others when I can, and get involved with the CS community whenever possible. Currently available to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Montreal and in France, hosted in Paris (numerous times), Pennsylvania and North Dakota (many times and counting). Always a fantastic time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched New Years fireworks at midnight from an airplane window flying into Singapore, then walked to meet the sunrise and the warm ocean waves because there was not one open hotel room that night and because, well, adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about some holistic health practices and good eatin, about the human major histocompatibility complex or even a little bit about mirror neurons.. I can teach you about some bands and the music they make and about how not to act when hosting a radio show.

I'd like to learn more French. I'd like to learn about antique things. Also about organic food cultivation and sustainable living options. I'd like to learn more about myself I suppose, or just about being human in general.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A few basic yoga poses, a good & healthy meal, a patch job on your favorite jeans, or just some good ol' fashioned conversation.
