CURRENT MISSION

Do some good.

ABOUT ME

He's a pretty decent kid.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to help people, to meet people, to learn, to love, and to laugh.

I cannot decide whether I like to hang out with Godless dirty hippies or clean shaven religious bigots more. All cliches aside, there is a lot to learn from everybody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I help out in any way I can. I do the dishes. I work in the garden. I give my couch to hobos. I pick up hitchhikers. I take handicapped kids hiking.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just hosted for the first time — a kid from North Carolina — and I highly recommend hosting. It is a great way to be a good samaritan and meet nice people from far away.

I also surfed for the first time last week in Europe. Everybody should do it. Not only do you save money, you get to know the city and the people much better.
