Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

give, share, experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My roommates were into it, but I wasn't a convert until I met Miss Katie K when she stayed with us. We had adventures in Oregon and she convinced me to take off work and adventure up to Seattle up with her for a few days. I'll never regret a second of it, and I owe her for opening my eyes! I have now hosted and surfed and think this is a great community of people and a wonderful way to experience a new place.

yes please

top 5 movies: 1. almost famous 2. Big lebowski 3. forest gump 4. waynes world 5. Rotating (garden state, i <3 huckabees, darjeeling limited, 500 days of summer, etc...)

music: depens on the mood... mornings call for paul simon, band of horses, old crow medicine band, modest mouse; dancing in the kitchen calls for RJD2, Blackalicious, NERD, LCD Soundsystem, MIA; Bathtime requires Regina Spektor... but that could change at any minute...

books... still working on omnivores dilemma, Loved Devil in the White City, Currently reading Prodigal Summer, but mostly cookbooks...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This year, I quit my "real job" to pursue a passion for adventure and travel. No Regrets!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to cook with what you already have in your kitchen. i can tell you bad jokes. I can encourage and empower you. I can help you be spontaneous or at least see something new, hopefully :)
