I'm new to the DC/ Northern Virginia area. It is a wonderful place, city access and mountains not too far west.

Meeting and getting to know people is probably one of my favorite things. Let's make this place better for everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now I'm just surfing, but hosting is a goal. Couchsurfing has been fantastic, I've met people from several different countries and from across the US and Canada.

Interests

Traveling, new people. They are the only thing that lasts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just came off a five year Army contract, still in the Reserves, eight years total. Good times, great experiences, unique perspectives and people.

Teach, Learn, Share

When you seek to empathize with other people, you begin to understand them. When you understand them, you begin to love them. Let's get to it.
I spent a year deployed with Texans (not my favorite state). I took a lot of crap for saying I think of myself as a world citizen before an American. It's better that way I think. We'll all alike, we all have equal value, we're all important even if our passports aren't blue.

Canada, Gibraltar, Iraq, Italy, Kenya, Kuwait, South Africa, Spain, Swaziland, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City State
