About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Born in Texas. Raised in Texas and Alaska. Living in New York City. I work in the film industry and I'm part of a worldwide longboard community. I make custom graphics for skateboards. I love making music. I love skyjumping. I love to travel. I have wanderlust. I love meeting people and being on the road. I am currently re-learning French.

PHILOSOPHY

Be in the moment and savor it, what ever it is and where ever you may be. Seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the CS community. I first heard about it in Jan 2012. I joined because I needed a couch. I was welcomed immediately! I surfed 2 times in France. When I returned to NYC, I opened my couch. So far, I've accepted 4 requests to Host and three of them canceled.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a couch surfer for many years, just never through this website. My door is always open to people in need and people on the road. I love staying with locals. It beats a hotel any day of the week. Much to discuss, much to learn. Trading information and stories over a good meal in good company...what could be better?
