Overview
About Me
I love Jesus (some say I look like a ginger version).
I don't wear shoes (you can call me Frodo).
I play a ukulele (no - don't ask me to play Somewhere over the Rainbow, please).
I have a big beard 60% of the time, all the time. (slight movie reference?)
I would love to host people in Chiang Mai... but I live in a cubicle sized room with not much to offer, sadly.
PHILOSOPHY
I trust in God for my daily bread and head towards Him. It's the breath in my lungs until they cease. I love all people though, regardless of opinion.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I was able to host a house back in California for some time after hearing about this. Now that I'm in Thailand it would be cool to meet some new folks when I have to travel as I love people.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm more of a floor-surfer as a un-fan of beds. It's how I roll... I spent the last 6 months in California before taking off to Thailand by sleeping on various friends' floors. My rent contribution for my casket-sized space was usually milk/eggs AND teaching people (do college males count as that?) to cook basic things. Who would have thought that boiling water is a daunting task?
