CURRENT MISSION

I would like to travel the world, make new friends, and learn culture, history, and have new experiences.

ABOUT ME

Nice guy, educated, polite, fun, adventurous, passionate, love to explore new places and make new friends. I'm a bit of a nerd at heart, reliable, intelligent, and am always up for a beer and conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

Be Excellent to each other! (Bill and Ted's reference)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with several couchsurfers, and reciprocate with offering my couch (and spare bedroom) to others that need one. I find that traveling with couchsurfers gives a better feel for a city, a better guide to the local people, food, and culture, and great company for exploring the local nightlife too!

Interests

My interests: Beer brewing, guitar, cars, cooking, touring wineries, ethnic foods (all types!), traveling, exploring the world, and fixing things!

Music: I like a wide range of music - all types of rock, electric blues, modern pop, top 40 hits, bossanova, electronica, and anything danceable.

Favorite shows: I do not watch much TV and do not have cable. Some of my favorites are: Doctor Who, Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Futurama, PBS Newshour (exciting, right?)

Favorite books: I like no-name Sci-fi trilogies. I find they are an excellent way to unwind. Best trilogy I have read was Lord of the Rings. Last trilogy read was Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I also read as I try to teach myself new things - brewing techniques, Spanish, healthy cooking, etc

Favorite Foods: I love most cuisines - Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, Italian, Tex-mex, etc. I like to keep it interesting, and enjoy trying new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
