About Me

CURRENT MISSION

everybody wang chung tonight!

ABOUT ME

I am a 29 year old who loves nothing more than to travel, meet new people and have crazy adventures where you wake up the next day wondering "what the hell just happened". like the crazy, random people that can make a day of window shopping or walking around seem like a day of sky diving. enjoy indulging in the alcoholic beverage category and seem to spend alot of my time in pubs and such. Also enjoy just hanging out, relaxing and talking about everything from politics to what would happen if fred flintstone slept with Marge Simpson. Have a great group of friends that are honourary couch surfers and love coming out when theres a visitor in town. love to be outdoors as much as possible. i feel theres alot to be learned from others if you give them the chance. I never take anything too seriously and love to joke around and have laugh. I love to joke around about everything and there is no line in my sense of humor so go ahead, try to go too far haha.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, surround yourself with people who's company you enjoy, and have as much fun as you can before your wick burns out

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After a few years of hosting I now have the pleasure of surfing others couches. I think this is the greatest initiative I've seen to date and spread the word to every new traveller, hitch hiker, and any whole hearted person I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have met some great people both through surfing and hosting and had some amazing times that i'll never forget.

Music, Movies, and Books

Way too much to list here, we can discuss in person (unless you like the Jonas brothers, then we can never talk)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once drank a 2L of Coca Cola in 11 minutes. although I lost the competition to someone drinking sprite, the aftermath was one of the funniest things i've ever seen. may not sound like i finished very quickly but try it and see, it's damn near impossible!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're on this site, be here for the right reasons. This is not a free hostel or place to stay, it is a network of people offering a chance for you to experience the real culture that no tour, book, or program can give you. Treat it with respect and at least have the decency to reply to others if they message you, even if it is a no.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, China, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Slovakia, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam
