Hey there world,

My name is Samuel and I'm a Massachusetts native living in Oceanside, California. I'm just a simple guy who spends all of his time outside with the trees/cacti, sweating/exercising, shooting portraits, and laughing at terrible jokes. I mostly host all you surfers because I like to camp when I travel... but if you're reading this as a potential host then it looks like I finally gave in to mother nature or I might die camping wherever you live...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ go figure

For my humble surfers: looking for hidden away desert watering holes? Super sick mountain hikes with wicked views? Nifty little dive bars and good eats? Let a guy know, I'll help ya out.

Happy surfing, be safe, have fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are far too many interesting people, too many unique cultures, and too many experiences in this world to let slip by. Likewise there are far too few intimate conversations, too few sincere interactions, and far too few people understanding eachother's perspectives. Couchsurfer seems to be a beautiful crossroads of perspective and community and I love sitting in the center of that intersection, greeting all of you who decide to pass by.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite book - The Prophet by Khalil Gibran. Read it, love it, you won't regret it. Short but oh, so sweet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once ate Taco Bell for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Not only did I survive; I thrived. Nothing short of a miracle. Blessed be the quesarito, amen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer some downright bizarre work stories, an open mind to pick at, a great work ethic to help with any household tasks, a mediocre singing voice, and an enthusiasm for outdoor activities rivaled only by that of a young golden retriever.
