CURRENT MISSION

Ich bin ein Berliner

ABOUT ME

I am a generally excited person who likes to joke around, listen to music, and once in a while seems too serious at work. I will almost drop everything I am doing to play pick up soccer, and I drink several cups of coffee a day. My family inspires me, and my friends have helped me feel empowered. I am honest, sometimes too much so, but I often have a lot of positive things to say, think, and share.

PHILOSOPHY

"life is short and too soon passes
those who let it pass them by are ass's
so when you drink of life drain the cup
cause tops is down and bottoms up"
g. sherwood

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I am in one place, I am a good host but I often am on the road. I have really enjoyed meeting new people through cs. The band I work for created the promo song that was used in a cs reality tv show in 2007. I love the stories that have come from cs experiences and I end up telling many of them to my friends, which I hope inspires them to be come part of this wonderful community.
