Before we go any further let me tell you my work schedule.... I work M-F 6am to 6 pm.... im generally exhaustd. I am about as much fun on weekdays as a piece of wood. I cant host alot... and i get a ton of requests... i dont try and be rude or picky, but im busy, and tired often... when im not working though im a blast...

What you can expect-
I work a good bit. When Im not working I like to have fun. I'm well travelled, out-going, and can tell drunken stories for hours. I am also not a free hotel. If you dont wanna hangout with me; find a hotel. You will be required to interact. I dont wanna have to bend your arm to make you speak. I am also good with a small amount of references (Everyone has to get started somewhere), But c'mon at least fill out your page and add pictures of yourself, and not just your friends or a really cool tree.

Personal DescriptionI am from a small town in Florida. I love biology, and had planned my whole life going to medical school, But I got sick of school, and fell in love with travel. I am outdoorsy, and i can get along with anyone, for any amount of time, and in any situation...I like meeting people from all over the world. I have been told I'm one of the funniest most genuine people ever. But who knows what you will think... I guess you'll have to find out. I am a traveller and not a tourist. I would rather spend the days and evenings hanging out and talking to you and your friends and learning about the country from you rather then walking around with a camera and map for 10 hours in Museums that I can read about online. I have just made the move to NYC and once I get setup. I'd love to host ya.How I Participate in CSI surf and spread the word and host when I can.

From Alexandra JACOVIDES Luxembourg, Luxembourg Sep 11 Positive I met George for couple of drinks. George has a great personality. We talked a lot about many subjects and he is very curious about other cultures. He is clever and has a beautiful view on couch surfing concept. You should consider yourself as lucky if George can host you.
From Mia C Wuhan, China Jun 29 Positive George saved my life on my first day homeless in New york, on the second day i realized how crazy his job can be:p George is kind, fun to talk to and very well-traveled with a lot of amazing experience.
From Jane Kilian Berlin, Germany Apr 13 Positive unfortunatley i havent meet him in NYC but i cam say that he is a really cool and friendly guy...the next time i will be in NYC i wanna meet you, ok? or if you ever need a couch in berlin let me know!!!
From Asya Tezhaeva Moscow, Russia Apr 7 Positive It was great to stay with George. He allowed us to stay alone in the apartment, helped us to shop, carrying our suitcases to home, even though he worked a lot it was fun! Kastrul'ka!
And what does geerous mean? There is no translation in a dictionary =(
From HAYLEYP Peterborough, Canada Mar 27, 2008 Positive George picked me up (over an hour drive)and showed me around his hometown where we went swimming with manatees (and apparently an alligator!), to the beach and to a great little cuban restaurant. He is a great guy- hilarious and has some interesting stories! Thanks again for the amazing time!
From Manue Ford Ivry-sur-Seine, France Feb 10, 2008 Positive so much fun together ! thx for this night georges!
but u must know that he don't know Tampa..this is why i was lost!!! ok !!
lool !!
georges is very nice and funny ;-)
(don't leave him in front of a mirror)
From Thorbjørn Kühl Copenhagen, Denmark Jan 20, 2008 Positive I only met George very briefly at my place but he definitely had the Couchsurfing spirit, easy to host, didn't need any taking care of. :)
From Alberto Bussoletti Rome, Italy Dec 4, 2007 I have just confused your Couchsurf Request with another one.
Anyway, since I don't know you I can't leave you a negative reference because I am not used to judging people without knowning them. Whats wrong with a "sorry, I can't"? That was to another person anyway.
Take it easy man!
From Pehmolelu Helsinki, Finland Aug 28, 2007 Positive "Dam" George this George. I could georgly george about George, but hell where to george about him....Let me George.
George him for a couple of georges or more, he's merly georgeous lol-george !!!
if u wanna george more, george him.

From Anna Henkel Berlin, Germany Aug 26, 2007 Positive George and Dana were great guests.
We had a few beers and a great night.
George is a very cool, smart guy, who is well travelled and genuinely nice.
I look forward to seeing him in Oz one of these days!
From Nohea Reveley Rome, Italy Aug 20, 2007 Positive Great times playing crads on the roof, drinking wine and eating good food. See you in FL!
From Emma and Elisa Van Den Bossche Gent, Belgium Aug 12, 2007 Positive Georgie is a fun, active and sociable person. We tried to get him drunk with our famous (and extremely strong) Belgian beers... but we gave up, cause he can drink like a horse. :) He has good humor, interesting stories to tell and knows well how to play poker,... but you lost, you f*cker :) Enjoy the travelling!
From Cecilia Rossiello Gothenburg, Sweden Aug 11, 2007 Positive This guy is very funny and easy to hang out with. I had a blast with him, and so did my friends! I wish I could have spent more time with him...unfortunately I had to work.
From Jessika Thunman Gothenburg, Sweden Aug 11, 2007 Positive Ah, George, George, George... where shall I begin... we seem to bring out the worst of eachother.. but the worst wasn't bad eighter :) If you get the chance to meet Captain Awesome, you should.
From Elysha San Francisco, United States Aug 9, 2007 Positive We had a really good time with George in Copenhagen - he was up to do anything, very laidback, lot's of good stories, and gave us a ton of insights into getting around Europe. If all couch surfers are like him then we know we will have a good time!
From BARRYFUN Beijing, China Aug 8, 2007 Positive After meeting George at Thorbjørn Kühl's flat, we explored Copenhagen together as we were both first timers to the city. Although quite accomplished, I detected no arrogance in him at all. Instead I found George very down to earth and easy to talk to. Good luck in medical school, homie.
From Raul Morquecho Martinez San Nicolas de los Garza, Mexico Aug 2, 2007 Positive i knew him because he stole my room in amsterdam, hahahaha, i'm just kidding man, hahaha..... actually, it was a coincidence, at the beggining it was kind of hard to get on with each other, because we're very different, but with the time i could appretiate that he's a cool guy, so, i defenitely recomend this person, he's very easy-going, and loves baseball
we might meet again in the future, man, may be our paths will cross again
From Britta Groot Amsterdam, Netherlands Jul 30, 2007 Positive What shall I say about George. There's so much to say.. First and foremost: he is a baseball-addict, whose favourite team is the Boston Red Sox (they haven't lost a game since George stayed at my place, maybe that's a sign.. ;) Furthermore, may be that he cooks better, but I can do the dishes way better than he does (isn't that a great match). He liked my parents' witlof. My brother wants to meet him again to play poker with him, two friends of mine want to catch up with him when they go to Florida, my colleagues want to meet him again for a drink.. Really.. man, watch out that you don't get to attached to him.. I was already missing him, the day before he left for Belgium... That should say enough..
From MIRA & DERK-JAN Amsterdam, Netherlands Jul 21, 2007 Positive George-ous! funny, out- and easygoing ketchup-addict who does or has done just about everything that involves water & the woods : ) He's a real "george" to have around, it was lovely to host him & everyone should try! Have a good trip & maybe cu back in a'dam.
From Tess Robinson Sydney, Australia Jul 16, 2007 Positive Fantastic guys from Florida. Had a great few days partying and hanging at the beach with him in Lagos, Pôrtugal. He was heaps of fun and would be great to host or be hosted by. Hope we meet again soon :)
From Sam Bracher London, United Kingdom Jul 8, 2007 Positive classic american guy we met in largos portugal and had hilarious night out. host this man if u can. good times!
From Daniela Ayvasky Berlin, Germany Jun 27, 2007 Positive I picked up George at Cati's place at his first night in Berlin - he was so sound asleep he wouldn't open the door :) He seems like a party animal - I really enjoyed spending time with him. He's always up for a laugh. I am glad we met. Hope we see each other soon again.
From Caterina Pollex Berlin, Germany Jun 27, 2007 Positive george is a nice guy, very easy to be with, very outgoing, knows to tell a lot of funny drunken stories. i enjoyed partying with him. hope i see him again in august.
From Wojtek and Karolina Markowska Warsaw, Poland Jun 23, 2007 Positive He only spent one night on my couch, but thanks to him, me and my mom had a great time laughing between meals ;) heh He's knowledgeable, taught me a few things about Florida's fauna and flora :D He also has quite a handful of funny, interesting stories to tell. And he'll shurely have muh more after he'll have traveled around the world :)
From Atli Thor Fanndal Bournemouth, United Kingdom Jun 23, 2007 Positive George and I meet in Warsaw, he was starting his trip around the world and was a cool guy. He has a strong florida accent, does not get past you that he is an american ( its nice to ask though, cause the question where are you from is a classic conversation starter ).
But he is cool, and I specially liked the fact that his world travel had no special timelimit, he was just going to travel untill he was bored or broke, now that is a plan I like.
From Bryan Oliver Long Beach, United States Jun 21, 2007 Positive george is a great funny dude, good outlooks on life and always making people laugh. all the best to you in your travels man!
From Karthik P San Francisco, United States Jun 19, 2007 Positive We met at the party in Vilnius, and he
kept the fun levels up as most of the
gang stayed up all night. Nice guy, with
(now) a lot of experience in Lithuanian
liqueurs, and a great sense of humor.
From Aiste Urbonaviciute Vilnius, Lithuania Jun 17, 2007 Positive George is a very easy going person, fun to have around, talk, party, eat ketchup'ed meals and watch movies. Have a time of your life travelling round the world and be careful with transport and tickets:P
From Ruta Fra Vilnius, Lithuania Jun 17, 2007 Positive George has just started his trip and im glad i met him in Vilnius ;)
