CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to find others like me, and enjoy a great time chatting about the experiences we've had. The fact that I've got a place to crash is just a side benefit for me.

ABOUT ME

First and foremost, and I am a true Gemini. I spend my life trying to find balance. On the one hand, I drive a hybrid and work as an IT professional, and on the other hand I used to live overseas and spent a lot of time exploring both the good and the bad of Moscow. Nowadays I ride a crotch rocket to try and provide some balance now that I've currently got the "practical" side of myself in full effect.
I love traveling, and consider myself an eternal student. This might explain explain why I had 3 majors, because I couldn't decide on just one. That took 7 years.
I do get bored easily, but still like those evenings where I can sit on a patio and just relax with friends over drinks and maybe a good cigar. Nothing makes me happier than sharing stories with friends who can relate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping to begin with some light couch surfing just around the States to get my feet wet. Then I'll move to international, and will mostly move into hosting other couch surfers, preferably when I have a place that has a space big enough for a table to sit around while we chat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet, but that's why I'm here!

Interests

I love traveling more than anything. I love seeing new places and meeting new people. I'm a bit of a nomad, and spent my 20's hopping from place to place. Now I live in Dallas, and spend a lot of time playing XBox, going to brunch with friends, looking for interesting art for my walls, and getting as much camping time in as possible. I also enjoy non-sexual nudist events(something I picked up in Europe, where breasts are very natural and beautiful things), as well as dipping my toes in the philosophy of the metaphysical.

Music, Movies, and Books

Big Business, Soapdish, The Women, Under the Tuscan Sun, The First Wives Club

Anything but country. It's all mood-based for me. I want fast and furious when I'm trying to get moving in the morning, and I want Amy Winehouse and a glass of wine when I've had a bad day at work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a boat up the Nile, and road a camel around the Great Pyramids in Egypt. That is an experience I'll never forget.
