About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and meet as many people as I can........

ABOUT ME

Although people here talk about how West Texas is Sonora, Ft. Stockton, etc. I consider where I grew up true West Texas, otherwise, known as El Paso. Even though I've traveled to so many different locales, whether it be national or international, I've always lived in Texas. But I guess I can say Houston is my home for now. I work in the oil and gas industry, go figure, so it's only natural to be here in H-Town.

I'm a "go with the flow" type of guy which means I can pretty much blend into any scene. I love to skate, rollerblade, snowboard, mountain bike....and other things that provide good adrenaline rushes...

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't regret the things you did, regret the things you didn't do!"

Apparently people don't bother reading profiles much less the "About Home" section. So here is a little note to read before sending a request.

****No groups, two max and no couples. Really? If I was traveling with a significant other I think I'd have the decency to pony up for private accommodations. It might be normal to some people but for me it's just straight up weird/awkward. Also, I'm not interested in housing job hunters, conference or training course attendees, etc......so please don't try to disguise it with some lame story about having some life long desire to travel across the U.S., seriously......

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not that anyone would ever really come to Houston but heck, I'm game to host some cool cats....otherwise, I'm going to spend more time couch surfing other people's places around the world. I wanna travel, learn about and meet people from all different walks of life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed plenty in Eastern Europe and have made long lasting friendships with folks all around the world. Can't express enough, how great of an idea couchsurfing is.

Interests

Snowboarding, skateboarding, rollerblading, eating, sleeping, dreaming, lounging, cole-lamping, swimming, cross-fit, lifting, etc.....

Music, Movies, and Books

80's High School Flicks, Japan and Korea has been putting out some wicked shit lately....oh, and I can't leave out French horror flicks...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to list...I do remember that one time when I took a boat ride up the Mahakam River in Borneo up to the Dayak tribal area....the boat was wicked rough and we ate mutated shrimp from the river...
