***COUCHSURFERS: I receive about 50 requests a week. And I try to reply to all of them! Would save us both trouble if personalize your message and give a specific reason why I should host you other than you need a place to stay. It would also be encouraged to write how you intend to pay this Couchsurfing experience forward. 😀***

Born in Mid-Mexico; reared in Midwest; humbled in New York. Easygoing guy who lives life at an 11 (that might be a contradiction, and most definitely a Spinal Tap reference). Writer, head editor of a publication/agency and filmmaker. Just wrapped up a project some associates and I are pitching to TV networks. Feel free to ask for my elevator pitch.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Nothing makes me happier than helping good folk, connecting with amazing people, and further expanding my worldview. What better way of doing that than hosting and being hosted?
