Personal Description

I'm a pretty simple guy. I love taking photos. I love my wife.

CouchSurfing Experience

Surfed in NYC with a great couple for a couple nights. I've also hosted a couple times. All great experiences so far!

Interests

Too much stuff to list. Anything outside. Anything techy mac computers. Anything really... besides shopping and traffic.

Types of People I enjoy

People who are passionate about what they do and are excited about life in general.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Scuba diving alone at night in a very deep and dark ocean cave, with lots of surge, and plenty of sea creatures watching me. Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever done, but most adventureous as well.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

I'm excited about it! My wife and I are planning some travel next year and I hope we surf some cool couches with great people. Also hope to offer our couch to some good people as well.

Locations Traveled

TRAVELED: Australia, Bhutan, Cambodia, Canada, China, Guatemala, India, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, New Zealand, Thailand, Vietnam
LIVED: United States


What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Blaine and Bethany were a very fun and relaxed couple to spend time with. They were also extremely hospitable and took us in even when in the midst of returning from adventures of their own. Thanks again for hosting us and I look forward to running into you again!

It was a pleasure to have Blaine and Bethany stay at my place. We spent a great day around Guilin and then having dinner with other CSs and hosts. I am very glad to have met them and wish them wonderful travels. Blaine and Bethany - you are very welcome to stay if you pass this way again - or wherever I am in the future!

It was really nice to meet Blaine and Bethany! we had dinner together with other CS friends, and it was great, followed by the walk near the lake and the beer in a cafe. That is so pity that we hadnt spend a long time. Hope to see you guys again!

These two are great! We met at a couchsurfer dinner in Guilin and wandered around for almost a week together and had tons of fun. They are both surprisingly very different from each other but both great to travel with. See you guys in Beijing!

They were a fun couple that I met by chance in Guilin. After we met we stayed together for 5 days of traveling. They were a great couple, Blaine was a chill guy, and Bethany was something else..ha ha. Hope you still have your organs!!! SO FAR!!
