Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see the world and all the places and people it has to offer.
ABOUT ME
I am a very easy going person. I have my moments of crazy, but for the most part am a bit quiet. I am a software tester stuck in a cube at work, so I spend my free time trying to be out somewhere, on a hiking trail or just around town. I spend way too much time on the internet, though it does keep me up to date with the world. I am always willing to try new things and meet new people, you may just have to talk me into it first ;)
PHILOSOPHY
Do or do not, there is no try.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've just moved to Sacramento in a gated apartment complex, so I will no longer be able to host currently. But I can be available to show people around or meet up for a drink.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
While In Arkansas, I hosted bicyclists James OBierne and his friend Matt who were enroute from Virginia to San Fransico. We heard their stories of the road and they were absolutely fascinating.
I also spent a week in San Diego in the summer of 2010, with a friend for a school project. Cage was gracious enough to open her home to us and create some of the best memories I have.
Most recently, Sam (my ex) and I have spent separate weeks in both Dublin, Ireland and Paris, France. During each of these, we met up with great people thru CS and were able to take away knowledge of new cultures and new friends.
