I cannot host from May 17th -Aug 27!!!!!!!
(I can chat, hang maybe)

uh.. I do impulsive road trips in the winter sometimes.

1,000 miles to see a ball of twine? why not....

I've a lotta random free time in the winter months..

Not looking for new facebook friend requests at all.
but, I am a real human... see?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In summer I interact with a huge # of j-1 students, mostly from eastern Europe.
I do miss the accents in the winter... (quiet Katarina, you don't count)

I'm a seasonally employed bachelor.
I keep very busy in the summer with work--and have fun in the winter.

Apparently the threat of having unknown friends to be arriving
knowing they will see how I live inspires me to clean my house.
(not as insignificant as it sounds)

I work in motels.... I don't like staying in them..

I prefer local information to going it wholly alone..
it's very different....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

worked a 40 hour shift at a convenience store, straight through?

Did 1,982 miles (3,189 Km) on my cycle in three days to St. Louis and back,
