Hi! I'm Bret Hudson, the kid who wanted to do everything. So he did.

I'm a software/web developer with an interest in interactive experiences. I make computer programs, apps, websites, and games. It sounds time consuming, which it is, but I still somehow find time for my long list of activities I partake in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the elements from my youth that I look back on fondly was how people naturally entered your life through friends of friends. Being friends with A would lead you to meeting B, who would then in turn introduce you to C and D, and sooner than later you'd be biking around town with E. So far, my adult life has had limited chances for these experiences, and I miss being introduced to different ways of life, ideologies, and personalities. Hopefully, with Couchsurfing, I'll be able to start connecting with people like I used to.

Interests

I make games and software! You can check out my stuff at http://www.brethudson.com

I have a thousand other interests that are all constantly battling for my time, including writing, guitar, acrobatics, and learning (languages, maths, and more).

• writing
• live music
• languages
• software
• linguistics

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After living in Minnesota most of my life, I packed up my belongings and headed across the country, and spent seven weeks on the road, visiting game developers and friends I had met on the internet. It was the most alive I've felt in years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

One of my favorite things is the indie game scene, which is a subset of the video game development industry that is comprised of independent developers: those that aren't backed by a huge company. As such, they create unique experiences that bend what games are. I can introduce hosts to a whole new world and experiences through interactive software they wouldn't have ever imagined.
