CURRENT MISSION

To make friends all over the world to share ideas, good times, and places to crash!

ABOUT ME

I think outside the box. I bought a big house and filled it with every toy I could think of, and I rent it out to pay for all the toys. The more toys I buy for the house, the more rent I collect, so its a great incentive to get all the things I could ever want in life. I have a pretty cool and unique place to offer (see my detailed couch description), and I'd like to offer that cool place to cool folks. I'd be happy just meeting some interesting people here, but it'd also be nice to have friends to crash wtih all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

It really doesn't matter, and what if it did?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to host people, to show them around town, to answer questions, and to generally be helpful. I travel extensively, and I figure what goes around, comes around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm just gettign started on here, but I have often crashed with friends while traveling. I hope to make more friends all around the world to visit and stay with when I am traveling to their town some time the future.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music and movies, depending on the mood. I have recently read Predictably Irrational, Blink, Freakonomics, and Stumbling on Happiness. I loved them all, so I'm thinking that I am really into psychology. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a cross-country RV trip and saw Wall Drug. Anyone else been there? ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty knowledgeable about the law, investing, personal finance, technology, gadgetry, and public policy. I may not always be right, but I am always happy to share my views.
