CURRENT MISSION

To Keep it Real, or at least Realistic

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent journalism grad, currently living in Medellin, Colombia. I have a pretty epic beard that I often use for storing important things.

PHILOSOPHY

"When the going gets weird, the weird turns pro"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've lived in houses where friends have hosted CS'ers before so I'm familiar with how it works. In Colombia I've hung out with surfers who regularly meet up and have had a lot of fun with them.
I'm willing to host, go for coffee or perhaps something stronger, anything at all, I'm totally down as long as I'm physically able to do it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend has hosted several people while I was living with her in Ottawa, Canada and we even had one lucky Aussie surfer come live with us for 6 months after his initial stay so I'm down with the program and hoping to contribute as much as I can in the future.

Interests

Soft cheeses, hip hop, inappropriately timed comedy, conspiracy theories, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Natalie Portman, any conversation that occurs after 2am, pretentious arthouse films, and Hunter S. Thompson
