Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Getting a taste of other cultures
ABOUT ME
I find that the most defining characteristics of a culture shine through its food and music, so when i travel i'm always looking to sample the local fare.
In two years when my wife finishes her MBA we'd like to move internationally, so I want to find possibilities for a new home. I love my job working with Environmental issues on the front end (research not regulation).
PHILOSOPHY
I'm spiritual but i haven't put much time into defining it and i don't go to church.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We're interested in hosting a couch surfer since we like to play the tour guide to our visiting friends. We will also enjoy taking folks out for a drink since we love beer & wine and have recently started brewing in our urban Atlanta condo.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Listening to our friends tell great couch surfing stories has finally got us signed up, but no 1st hand stories yet.
