I'm a typical Austin computer geek. My hobbies include traveling and dancing (and traveling to dance) ... if you want to check out the dance scene in Austin I can definitely help with that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm lucky enough to own a home in Austin and my two roommates got married and moved to Kansas city. So I have an entire up stairs that is empty. I like to meet new people. I like to learn about different cultures. I don't like to be in a big empty space. I had a few friends who couch surfed around the country so I thought hosting people might be fun for a while.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent three weeks building houses for widows in Southern India. That's where I contracted the incurable travel bug. I also Blues danced in Seoul which was a pretty amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I can probably teach you to blues dance (I can definitely teach you to swing dance) . I can show you were the great live blues shows are in Austin (and tell you when all the dancers are going to show up), might even be able to get you to a house party or two.

And I'm learning allot about the history of Austin.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm really more interested in Hosting for now. When I travel I usually stay in hostels.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bolivia, British Indian Ocean Territory, Canada, China, El Salvador, Honduras, Japan, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, United Kingdom
