CURRENT MISSION

Making sure I can say I lived well!

ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm Tres (like uno, dos, ...) I'm happy getting up before sunrise to go for a peaceful hike or to go skiing, or to stay out all night drinking with friends new and old. I'm a nerd who loves my introvert time but I also love being outside and meeting people. I have an unfortunate tendency to use every pun that occurs to me in conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

The world would be a better place if people were more willing to make fools of themselves. -- Heather

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, host occasionally, and enjoy going to CS events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The coolest CS experience I had was in Malaysia with my girlfriend Cassie. We spent my birthday cycling around the backwoods, eating on the floor of an Indian temple, singing songs with people representing 9 countries at a Chinese family's house while a thunderstorm raged outside, and watching an Indian firewalking ceremony in disbelief.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A beautiful and generous family at the top of a mountain in northern Peru wove a rich, fascinating, and disturbing story about their surroundings in a house without electricity or plumbing. I taught them English, they taught me about myself and helped me with my Spanish, and it was beautiful.
