About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn 2 new languages by couch surfing... and just meeting new people

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and host whenever possible. I most enjoy unusual people who not only use CS to save money and but somehow "leave" something inspiring or thought provoking with me.

I consider myself an open minded and curious person. I like to share new ideas and to get to know different point of views from others. I really like traveling to experience other ways of living and other cultures.

Learning new things is one of my purposes in life.

I run my own software development company which allows me to do what I love (write code) and also gives me the freedom to travel and see the world.

Outside of work I spend most of my time in/on the water. I love to Jet Ski, Kayak, and Scuba Dive. I also love playing volleyball.

I'm big into traveling, I can't stay put too long or I get bored! My favorite places right now are Australia and Belize but I enjoy any place that has great culture and some good scuba diving.

I can wiggle my ears and raise my eyebrows individually :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Jessie and I are a pair of nerds who love to travel, scuba, learn, and participate in random acts of silliness.

We met on CouchSurfing when I hosted her in Florida and our love for traveling and adventure brought us together and we now live together in Pensacola.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed across Europe and have hosted people at my homes in Florida and Georgia.
