ABOUT ME

Hi! My name's Patrick! I'm a musician/painter/carpenter/sculptor in Austin, TX. I appreciate learning how to do the things I am fascinated by and tend to design my life to be as free as possible. Traveling is important to me, although I don't seem to do it nearly enough. My experiences overseas are moderate by comparison to much of the couchsurfing community, but I do understand firsthand how nice it is to cross paths with a friendly soul in an unfamiliar place. I've got enough couch space for 3 travelers as well as 2 air mattresses. There aren't any animals here to consider and inside is smoke free.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is big and life is short

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to host travelers and exchange stories them as well as offer my advice where to visit. If I'm available and it's requested, it's a pleasure to join in the adventure of showing travelers around town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After a decade, my experience is still limited to hosting travelers, but the experience has been beautiful! I've had the good fortune to make friends all over the world through this community and have even had the opportunity to reunite with some. Incredible meals, fun days and wild nights have been shared.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I witnessed a UFO flying at close proximity back east very low to the ground and headed in my direction with a spot of light illuminating the ground directly below it. I ran screaming toward it and it took off.
