About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy my life while figuring out what I want to be when I grow up

ABOUT ME

I think I'm funny, but to others its debatable

PHILOSOPHY

I'll do anything for my friends and I love to procrastinate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and I surf, but as of yet I haven't met anyone for coffee...which isn't necessarily a bad thing since I don't like coffee...but I do like tomato juice and coca-cola...separately...so please invite me out for a cup of juice or cola just not coffee

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed throughout Eastern Europe and Canada and hosted people from the US and Canada...

Interests

I live for hockey, baseball, good music and good people. I also enjoy vinyl (records), mountain biking, skiing, cooking, pizza, having a lazy day with my dogs, writing crappy music/poetry, and drinking vodka.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

after being stopped by the cops in Rostov, the crime capital of southern Russia, I wasn't asked for a bribe or made to pay a fine or ticket, the cops even looked in my wallet so they knew i had cash. I was so surprised and shocked, that i offered to buy them a beer as a way of saying thanks for not robbing me but they said no.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have so far found nothing that compares to vodka with the locals in front of the hermitage and then walking home down Nevsky prospect at 4 in the morning, but my current life is coming pretty close.
