About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much of life and other cultures as possible.

ABOUT ME

I live to learn and laugh. When I'm not working or traveling I'm spending time with my dog, friends or reading. The dog loves life on the road but I only bring him when I'm driving the truck, not traveling for pleasure.

PHILOSOPHY

Every one is equal. Nobody is better than another, regardless of education, or monetary status. We all have the potential to better ourselves and the community around us. I get along with everyone and can find common ground in all situations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I give people lifts whenever the opportunity presents itself and bum rides just as often... I'm a truck driver so I don't have a home, and can't host but if you meet me on the road I'll probably buy you a meal and let you sleep in my truck!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not too much really. Just crashed at a few friends of a friends in California and recently in New York City. It was the best! Thanks Everyone!

Teach, Learn, Share

There is so much to learn and teach. I'll just settle for this quote to sum it up...

"You can't control the wind, but you can set your sails."
-Billy Joe Armstrong

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, good vibes and good conversation. I can cook a little and teach you how to count cards to beat Vegas. I bring a deck of cards and hacky sack every where I go. I can also handle most home improvement or technology challenges you throw at me, but I can't sing for you or do any magic tricks. =)
