CURRENT MISSION

That'll take you to my bio first and then the articles.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm in it to win it!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I made an account a few years ago and then never really logged in. I haven't been doing as much traveling as I would like to be. I'm planning a trip to France/Spain/Portugal in April, so I'm trying to get active on here. I would definitely host people here. I have a ton of space. 3 couches. An air mattress.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but I was an exchange student in high school and that worked out well. I'm still friends with people from that trip and am going to visit them in March.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a boy my parents took me everywhere. I rode elephants in India. Ran up the steps of the pryamids in Mexico. Checked out the Vatican. Spend some time in Greece, Italy, Germany, etc... but I was too young to remember it all. I need fresh "amazing things I've done."
