CURRENT MISSION

Getting ready to cross the pond.

ABOUT ME

I am really into riding my bike around town and getting into arguments about restaurants. I'm simple. My friends come first. I am not very punctual, but am very good natured and jovial.

PHILOSOPHY

the modern concept of time is a waste byproduct of industrialization. Make your own, and enjoy things at that pace. (probably best recited internally with a slow southern drawl)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell as many people as possible about this. Hopefully, this summer will help me color my pitch with vivid description.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't utilized the site yet, but I had a wonderful couch surfing experience in Berkeley, CA. My friend for some years kindly hosted me for the better part of a week. I started out with a clear-cut itinerary of things I would have liked to have done in the Bay area, and managed to do one several times over, I rode the BART. The itinerary slowly burned away as I let sidewalks, scenery, sounds, and smells dictate the rest of my explorations. This, I discovered, would provide me with more pleasure than I'd had in some time.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Anything I accomplish is amazing.
Also, I once saw a bar fight. I don't really know if that is considered amazing in the general guidelines of this exercise, but it was pretty intense.

教，学，和分享

There are a few things I know: Hospitality, how to make wonderful fried chicken, how to brew extract-based beer, how to complain about bad music, and the city of Norman.
