CURRENT MISSION

To seek adventures, right wrongs, defend the weak, rescue maidens, etc...

ABOUT ME

I'll probably tell you that I'm from DC, but the truth is that I'm actually from Maryland about 20 minutes outside of the DC by car. Here's something not a lot of people know. People from just outside DC and in the city like myself, call it "DC" -- only tourists and people who move there from elsewhere call it "Washington". Dead give away every time.

Anyway, I like to explore, travel (hence CS), read, tinker with (break) stuff, and am always up for something new and interesting. I'll do pretty much anything if it seems like it'll make a great story later on which... well... sometimes results in success and sometimes in great misfortune.

I started traveling around about three years ago with the intention of staying out for maybe 6 months. And, well, one thing led to another and now I've become a bit of a digital nomad, city hopping while working online.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I did some hosting for awhile, and now I'm gonna do some surfing. Please don't steal my kidneys.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing but good experiences. All the people I hosted were courteous and I had a great time hanging out with them.

UPDATE: I still have *both* of my kidneys.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once fought a deer and won.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll totally fix your broken computers. Or help with your English. I actually really enjoy doing the latter. It's cool to discover the oddities of my own language. I've also been at this for a few years now so I can share some strange and wonderful stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tacos, but only on Tuesdays.
