A former island guy with a degree now living in Portland, OR. I wear my big boy pants during the day while working and paying bills and PJs at night. Typically, I don't plan for anything, instead, I prefer to be spontaneous. It's more fun that way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and learning new cultures. I use Couchsurfing as a way to meet others and gather information about the places I visit, from a local's perspective, which is more than what other sites can offer. Couchsurfing also gives me the chance to create friends and lasting connections from other places so I can one day return the favor and by being a host when they decide to visit.
