CURRENT MISSION

Stoop kids not afraid to leave the stoop!!

ABOUT ME

I actually live in the Grand Canyon but couchsurfing wouldn't let me say that. If you're hiking and can't get a reservation or whatever get at me we'll see if we can't work something out!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I even knew what Couchsurfing was, I surfed my friends & acquaintances floors & couches. I also slept in the woods, but that's kind of a different story. And at school we would often let the touring musicians stay in our pit (ie. the futon & the couch pushed together & littered with throw pillows.) This website existing is super nice.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Once I found a record player in the trash which I took home and discovered worked perfectly. That was awesome. NASA's astronomy pictures of the day are pretty cool too: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html

教，学，和分享

That song "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" taught us all a lot, I think.
