CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and all the crazy people in it.

ABOUT ME

American moved back from the Scotland about a year ago. Still trying to get a handle on the whole Houston, Texas, USA thing.

I'm a pretty easy going guy who loves to learn about people and what makes them tick. Fairly well travelled, but still have lots of ground to cover.

In general: I probably won't be the life of the party, but I'll definitely bring beer :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Respect and listen to others and they will do the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In general when I travel I don't mind paying for a hotel or hostel, so I probably won't ask for a room. But seeing the world through the lonely planet or guided tours is a pretty hollow experience. Its the people of the world that make it an interesting place not museums and castles.

So in my travels CS has allowed me to meet so many cool people that have opened their worlds to me and turned my "vacations" into experiences.

In turn I try to show the same honesty and hospitality to my guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
