I just finished a 6 week trip across Europe and Asia with 3 companions, a cheap car and a dream. I ended in Beijing with no car, no friends but with some great stories. Now I want to host who I can back home in Madison, Wisconsin.

I am a software engineer specializing in web development and virtual reality. I have a wife, a five year old son and a baby on the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
