ABOUT ME

Very easy going guy currently residing in Michigan.

I am currently a web/mobile developer. My previous job I worked on transportation software applications but am now an independent consultant which allows me my dream job, to travel while I work! Check my website at emmanuelnelson.com to see some of my work and more information about myself.

PHILOSOPHY

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I was in Phoenix, I used to attend weekly couch surfing meetings. I have used it to meet with awesome people while I travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Typically use it for meeting people in foreign lands and have found it to be the best way to meet others.

Interests

I enjoy listening to all kinds music and playing the drums (drum-set, congas, etc). Like everyone else in this community, I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. I enjoy trying exotic foods, good company, hole-in-the-wall bars and meeting locals as I travel.
