Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To meet amazing people all over the world, and have a great experience while doing so.
ABOUT ME
I'm very easy going. Love meeting new people. I like to cook, travel, ride motorcycles, experience new cultures, go to an occasional music concert/festival, and spend time outdoors.
PHILOSOPHY
Other people are always more interesting than myself.
I try to make the most of what life has to offer, and try to keep a casual attitude about life in general.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would like to host other surfers when I return home. For now the only way i can repay anyone for allowing me to surf with them is to respect their house/belongings. Cook food, clean, and fix minor tings for others.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Most of my couch surfing experiences have been without the aid of couchsurfing.com But they have all been positive. I like going to other countries to experience other cultures from the local's perspective. I've been couch surfing in a few states in the U.S. as well as a few countries throughout Europe

Music, Movies, and Books
Tarantino movies are great at any time. I really like comedies, and stoner flicks. Super Troopers, Grandma's Boy, Half Baked, and Adam Sandler movies are usually good for a laugh. I like to read almost anything, but enjoy Steig Larson, Hunter S. Thompson, Anthony Bourdain, Herman Hesse among others.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Running with the Bulls, Cliff Diving, Skydiving, Flying a plane, Oktoberfest, Plitvice Lakes, Yosemite, Hitch hiking through the Balkans, Hitching through Thailand, 3 week motorcycle trip through Thailand, walking the Bataan Death March, swimming with whale sharks, 182mph on a motorcycle, breaking both my arms at the same time.
Teach, Learn, Share
