ABOUT ME

I'm just a guy who likes to be outside and cook food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few people (on my ex-girlfriend's account). Would love to host and be hosted more. Hence all the profile updates.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Limited. Friends use my couch all the time, tho.

Interests

Science, portmanteaus, the finest cheeses and breads in all the land, climbing everything, a good short story.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm a sucker for RHYTHM.
