CURRENT MISSION

21st Century Explorer of Comfy Couches

ABOUT ME

I've always been into travel, music, web development / tech stuff, and soccer. Lately over the past two years or so I've really been focusing more of my energy on eating / cooking vegetarian food, and reducing my impact on the planet by cutting out one time use plastics. I really enjoy hearing how others are stepping up and challenging our society's norms so that future generations will have a place to call home.

I like the idea of living a mobile lifestyle that takes me to far away places on the reg. I lived in Athens, GA for the past 8 years and recently made the move up the east coast of the US (in Providence at the moment doing a startup accelerator called Betaspring)

I am always up for a soccer game, good food, or a jam session.

People are the best part about any trip, and I love learning how everyone is living their life and spending their precious time on this planet! As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpen another.

PHILOSOPHY

You are the center of your universe. If you think something should be done a certain way, then do it. Don't underestimate the power of one person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to couchsurf whenever I travel. It's the best. I am always open to meeting people around my city who are visiting. If I've got a place with a couch or extra room, I'm more than happy to have guests. Hopefully by early 2014 I'll be able to have surfers again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed with awesome people in California and Tokyo, and try to host when I'm available.
