10 Things You Should Know About Me:

1) One of my nostrils is bigger than the other.
2) I have abnormally small teeth.

4) I have a bachelor's degree in graphic design, but I'm a firefighter.
5) I'm the youngest of eight children.
6) I have thirty-something nieces and nephews, I think (I always lose count).
7) My family is craaaaazy.
8) I celebrate Bacon Day.
9) I'm an introvert, but you probably wouldn't know after meeting me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To save on the ends and meet radical people as I travel.

Also, because I'm a devout believer in karma.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wow. What a broad topic. I listen, watch, and read a wide variety of music, books and movies. Maybe this is something we can chat about if I sleep on your couch or you sleep on mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exist.

Teach, Learn, Share

Never eat yellow snow.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a really dope spot to crash when you pass through Austin. I can also pass on some really great spots to visit around this beautiful city. I've lived here since '01 and I have quite a few good friends that are ATX Natives. If you can tolerate me, my schedule may even allow me to show you around town a bit. I work 24 hour shifts and then I'm off for 48 hours. Please include the word "karma" somewhere in your request to couchsurf my place so I know that you have read my profile. There is a really cool dog named Dookie that likes to hang out at my place, so if you're not in to animals, you may want to look for another place to stay.
