CURRENT MISSION

to connect with people from all backgrounds, opinions, and hometowns, to drink some great beer, and see the wonders of the earth...

ABOUT ME

...i am really for the most part your basic late twentys american guy. i have been known to work many, many jobs although some i have actually managed to hold for quite some time. You know with those jobs i made money to spend on the things a guy like me needs...rent, bills, food, beer, the maybe too often various cd, book, movie stuff, probably some more beer, you know all that jazz.

PHILOSOPHY

i promise i will come up with a great answer, and come back to this...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new with this couch surfing thing, although i have been more than happy to make my lovley apartment a home for a few travling bands and many a friend. Really i am amazed at the idea of this whole thing. I love it already. I pride myslef as always trying my best at having an open couch and some cold beer, and maybe just maybe some tasty cooking for a friend in town. The idea that others feel the same, and are all on a network is great. So yep i hope to host many a couch surfer in the future.
