About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn other cultures, make the world a better place.

ABOUT ME

I'm a creative, open-minded thinker that likes to travel and learn new things about myself and others.

PHILOSOPHY

This is cheesy; I got it from family ties or growing pains or some show like that. "Have fun, try not to hurt anyone, and hope you fall in love."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about this through a friend some time ago and once I got to partake in the glory that is Couchsurfing I knew it was a good thing. I recently moved into a house so while I'm acclimating to the new crib I've postponed hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with
- a lovely couple and their friends in London. they were a great introduction into how awesome this network is.
- a charming couple in Normandy.
- a juggler in Paris and laid back resident of Saint Denis.
- a driver just outside of Brussels.
- a very cool scientist just outside of Hamburg.
- an art teacher in Cologne.
- a programmer in Prague who loved my cooking.
- a footballer and his crazy Aussie roommate in Vienna.
- a party-crazed, moped rider in Malaga.
- an American in downtown Paris.
- a traveling, poker playing couple in Bournemouth.
- a cheery lady in Edinburgh and spent a night in a tree house.
- I've had travelers surf my couch, via couch requests and emergency couch request.
