ABOUT ME

I am 34 years old and just quit my job and recently moved to Budapest and am playing online poker for a living. I have been living in Seattle for the last few years. It has been a few years since I couch surfed in Europe and would like to take this opportunity to do as many trips as possible. While I can't host right now do to living in a very tiny apartment with my girlfriend I would love to meet up with anybody coming through.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only participated while traveling. I have stayed at many places and occasionally hosted while staying in some place for a extended period of time. I love going to meetings and hope to continue having that be a part of my life when I return home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hitch-hiked all over Europe and have used couch surfing a lot over this journey. Every CouchSurfing experience I have ever had has been positive, I have not hosted much in the past plan on doing that much more when I get settled again because I don't know how I will live with the lack of new and interesting people every day I have gotten used to while traveling with CouchSurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch a lot of movies and feel I enjoy i wide range of genres. I get most excited by new movies by either the Cohen Brothers or Jim Jarmouch. My favorite movie is probably Rashomon, and I have a soft spot for any movie that deals with morality in an ambiguous way.
With music my taste is very lyrics driven, if I like what the song is saying

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked around Europe for a year and only paid for a place to stay less than half a dozen times the entire year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to play games. I play poker for a living right now and everywhere I travel I love to learn new games and teach games I know.
