CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, not sleep in the rain.

ABOUT ME

I'm 27 years old and I still get excited about punk rock sometimes. I rock climb, play indoor soccer, ride a bicycle to get around. I like to dance to soul music. I have a grown up job so I don't get too serious about anything else. I like strong coffee with engaging conversation or a good book. I like cheap beer and dive bars with smart ass quips and dancing better.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay positive, do the right thing, help somebody out if they need and want it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My friend Dan told me about this site. Originally I created this profile because I needed a place to crash in North Carolina before catching a flight home to Portland after I finished my medic internship in S. Carolina. A friend of a friend pulled through so I didn't need it. Now I'll be in Austin Tx in early Feb. and it looks like my original place to stay might fall through. So I might try and use this for shelter. If not I'd love to know where the late night coffee shops are and where all the action is.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far just surfing with friends. I haven't used this site yet. I'm always excited to have travelers passing through and crashing at my house. I like showing people my city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I get to goto work and help people. Sometimes it's not all it's cracked up to be but still is amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

This could be part of my personal philosophy.
