CURRENT MISSION

Experience the world as authentically as possible

ABOUT ME

I am a down to earth guy from eastern Tennessee. I love traveling, meeting new people and having fun. I enjoy conversation over a good beer. I enjoy learning and practicing Spanish. I love to sail, race sailboats, hike, mountain climb, bike ride, social dance and read books.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others how you want to be treated. Leave everything better than you find it. Free will. yet Everything happens for a reason.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host when I'm in a single spot long enough.

Surfing:
I surf a lot while traveling and try to be as respectful and clean as possible. I try to leave a place nicer than it was when I arrived and share something I know about life. I've cleaned kitchens and spoke to a class as favors for CS hosts and hope to have more great exchanges. I view CS as a relationship and not a means for cheap accommodation. I have made real friends all over the world and hope to meet more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed all over the world from the US to Panama, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Australia, Carsurfed in New Zealand, Dubai, Hungary, Ireland, Holland, Slovenia, Austria and Iceland.

I host whenever possible.
