Hi fellow surfer and host, I'm Scotty, a.k.a. Scotty Compton as my friends know me. I'm laid-back, easy going and extroverted. I have alot of life experience I love to share and like to hear about other's life experiences. I'm currently in the process of moving to Dallas and looking for a job/place to live. In the meantime I'm doing the CS thing and networking with fellow travelers and hosts. When I'm not doing web design or graphic design, I love to cook, play guitar, a game of Chess or just chill and swap stories. I'm liberal-leaning, and I'd prefer to hang with like-minded people and of course travel. When I'm traveling, I go out of my way to leave as small a footprint as possible while I'm in someone's home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I love travel, and I love meeting new people and helping out wherever I can. I hear so many interesting stories from people I've met recently. Although I'm new to CS, I'm hoping to meet even more this way. To me the best times are the simple ones - just sitting around a fire pit sharing stories and playing music. I don't need to do complicated, expensive things to have fun.

I do alot of online reading mostly of a technical nature, but my two favorite books are "The 48 laws Of Power" and "The Dirt" by Motley Crue (not the Netflix movie lol) Movies - Sci-fi, action, adventure, GoT, oldies, pretty flexible on this too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
