CURRENT MISSION

Don't be bored.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and love to share my home to fellow couch surfers and travelers. I consider myself a social being, always looking to meet new people and develop long term friendships. As long as I'm around fun people, I'll be happy.

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun, be around people that inspire you, and never settle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My doors and couch are always open to friendly strangers. Part of my philosophy is that each new person I meet slightly shapes me as a person. Therefore, the more couch surfers I surf with and host, the more I know of the world and I become a more well-rounded person. I hope to never let go of that idea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted quite a bit, currently surfing more and more. I hope to even out the ratio soon. I have learned from everyone I've met traveling and hosting, whether it be big or small, and that is one of many amazing things about this global project.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of the night.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't just sleep on that couch when you visit. Explore. Converse. Have fun and meet new people. That's what this thing is all about.
