Why I'm on Couchsurfing
CS opens you up to experiences you would never have otherwise. I've met a ton of cool, interesting people through CS and look forward to continuing to do so in countries around the world. Not to mention, there's no way a guide book can provide as good of information or recommendations about a place as a person who is from that area.
Music, Movies, and Books
The Shawshank Redemption, The Matrix To Kill a Mockingbird, Friday Night Lights Willie Nelson, Toby Keith, Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Hayes Carll, Waylon Jennings
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hitchhiked from South Africa to Rwanda
Teach, Learn, Share
I love speaking foreign languages with people, and helping them learn if they're interested. I also can talk about soccer teams, players and history until the sun comes up.
What I Can Share With Hosts
A laid-back, low-maintenance guy who is comfortable in almost any situation. I won't complain, and I can usually provide some decent conversation. I try to help out at the house in any way I can in order to say thanks for people opening up their homes to us.
My Interests
Avid soccer player and fan (Houston Dynamo, Orlando Pirates, Manchester United, US National Team), voracious reader of books, continually learning languages
