About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Host cool people!

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, open-minded guy that enjoys playing sports, outdoor activities, music of all genres, motorcycling, exercising, cooking, and living a healthy lifestyle.

PHILOSOPHY

Explore. Experience. Learn continuously. Give back because there is always someone who has had it worse. Be grateful to be alive because life is too short and beautiful to waste.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to offer up my home and take advantage of those same offers from others. If you are in need of a place to stay or tips for an unfamiliar city, I will do the best I can to make your travels easy and enjoyable.

Interests

I really enjoy learning about people through conversation. I'm particularly intrigued by geopolitics, culture, religion, history, and philosophy. If you're in my company, you can expect me to try to conjure a lively conversation on topics such as these as I try to learn about the world through your experience with my childlike curiosity. If you've read my bio, think us compatible, and would still like me to host you, make the first sentence of your message/introduction a silly joke of any type or, alternatively, a statement about what you know about Houston, TX.
