About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people. Experience new things. See where life goes from there.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going man who loves to see cities by wandering between bars. I love to cook. I love to talk over a few beers about whatever is going on politically in the world at the time. If that's not your thing, I can easily shoot the shit about...anything, really. I love sarcasm. I really enjoy getting to know what local life is all about. This is why I initially decided to try couch surfing--getting a feel for a place with people who actually live there. I'd love for people to come visit me in my city, so I can show them what the Bay Area is all about.

PHILOSOPHY

Why not. (I'm easy).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have hosted 13 surfers, a did a bit of surfing myself while road tripping through Spain a couple summers ago. I have had a fantastic time, and have really enjoyed everyone's company. I attend meetups when possible, which have been great (sometimes too good).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun rise over AngKor Wat. I highly recommend it to anyone who ever goes to Cambodia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a carpenter. I can teach you how to fix anything and everything around the house (not an electrician or plumber, however, although I do know a little).

I would love to get better at speaking Spanish, Portuguese, or French.
