I'm actually living in Turkey right now, but the couch at my family's house in Georgia is still open.

I've couchsurfed in Romania, Norway, The Netherlands and Palestine, and hosted once at my family's home in the US.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings, about fire in our bellies and about furtive little feelings and the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering, and it helps us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live." - Frank Turner, 'I Knew Prufrock before He Got Famous'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hitchhiked from Montenegro to London. On the way I slept under a bridge and in a phone box, climbed a fence into a truck stop, and took a ferry across the English Channel as a truck driver's plus one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to curse in Turkish and how to play old-time Appalachian style banjo.
