ABOUT ME

I am searching for genuine experience. I hope to live in Africa some time in the not too distant future, but I want to see as much of the world as possible before that, and meet all kinds of people. Oh, and I blog:

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that the people who gain the most from charity are the givers. Because of that, it is so important for people to live in co-dependency with each other and to avoid too much independence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, I host, I love. I have a crappy response rate because I don't use the internets much outside of work and the couchsurfing site is blocked by our webfilter. If I don't respond, that is why.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I drove a veggie oil powered school bus around the USA, hitchhiked through Alaska, I often drink cheap American beer with other CouchSurfers.

Interests

Hiking, traveling (obviously), Africa, the emergent church, non-fiction and folk music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've summited Mt. Margherita in Uganda and all I have to show from it is trench foot. My goal in life is to have a new answer to this question every 12 months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you all about Africa, how the Christian church has ruined marriage in America, or why you need to quit your job and start living for something you actually care about.
