Haven't updated this part in like several years. Hopefully it still describes me!

CURRENT MISSION

Reverse the Krakensphere while still holding down my job

ABOUT ME

Can't I get someone else to fill out this part for me?

Ok, so everyone describes themselves as laid-back, but this works because everyone is laid-back, at least in some sense of the term. Some people don't worry about small things, some people don't worry about big things, some people don't give a shit if you shit on their rug, but others just like staying in rather than going out partying. I guess I can be neurotic, and stressed about stupid things, but I'd like to think I'm pretty laid back as a host. You can, you know, like, use my shampoo without asking or whatever.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll fill this part out later.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed all over Europe, but now that I'm in a "house" that's "stationary" I figure it's time to pay it forward. I'm really looking forward to it, actually.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During the 2010-2011 academic year, I was an English teacher in the town of Valence, France. Even though I didn't make much money, thanks to couchsurfing I was able to travel all over Europe, and meet amazing people when I was at it. I would love it if one of them ever wanted to surf with me in San Francisco. That would be pretty amazing, actually. DO YOU HEAR THIS PEOPLE I SURFED WITH COME SURF WITH ME.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fucking travelling around Europe with CS, dude.

Also one time I hitchiked to the baltic coast from berlin and slept on the beach in an old person's town and got rained on and took shelter in a bathroom and then hitched back to berlin and went to the zoo. And by amazing I mean stupid, I guess.
