ABOUT ME

Well I'm now living here in Asheville, NC with my girlfriend Rachel. We have a 2 br house but one bedroom is my art studio so if you're requesting it's just the couch or possible an air mattress in the living room. We both bartend so our availability is always questionable but we love to meet new people and fellow travelers. We are fairly relaxed individuals and are always up for showing visitors some fun spots around town if we have time!

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, relax, breathe, make art, and be honest. Appreciate what you have and where you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I suppose on paper it seems I've been more of a taker than a giver in the CS world, being that I've surfed a lot more than hosted, but I do what I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is a great privilege to have participated and met so many wonderful people through couchsurfing. You never know how long these things are here for so use it while you can!

When I was little my dad ran out into the pond behind our house and used his karate skills to save a duck from a snapping turtle...pretty amazing.
