CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the Mid-Atlantic

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun-loving, outgoing, intelligent, liberal guy. I'm really into meeting different types of people and better understanding different cultures, politics, etc.
I think most people who know me would agree that I have a propensity towards making friends wherever I go, and for staying in touch with all the wonderful people I've encountered over the years.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've always been a natural, de facto couchsurfer and host, but I've only recently gotten more involved in the CS community. I've done a ridiculous amount of informal couchsurfing (i.e. not through CS) on extensive roadtrips in the U.S. and crashed with a lot of people, but I've always loved hosting people -- no matter how remote my connection to them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted numerous times, mostly when I lived in Austin, Texas, and once when I lived in Cape Town, South Africa. I've met some really nice folks, and I usually like to show them around if I have the time.
I've never actually surfed with anyone ... yet.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Movies: Coen Brothers, documentaries, Rushmore. I also watch some high-quality TV series, like Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights, and The Wire. And the Simpsons, always.
Music: Country (of the non-radio, non-Nashville, non-pop variety -- more Americana/folk/Texas country), some indie rock, classic rock, California punk.
Books: I read far too much nonfiction and not enough novels. I'm also a news junkie, so I love print newspapers and in-depth magazines like the Economist and the Atlantic.
