*I love to skateboard around Long Beach* I long board and bike to the beach, downtown, different bars, different eats, all over beautiful Long Beach
Taking photos while in moment without losing it
I love adventure, spontaneity
I enjoy playing my drums and bass guitar. Jamming with people that gots the feeling is where it's at
Good, real conversation over either some tea and snacks, or some cocktails, or just sitting on the grass.
Cognitive-behavioral psychology, noticing patterns of behaviors, breaking patterns. Practicing self-awareness
I talk a lot, but I'm very interested in learning the art of saying more with less words.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done
In Thailand, I managed to get bitten by a monkey..it was pretty amazing how many rabies shots I had to get
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.
Greg is a fun spirited and carefree individual with whom I've known for almost two years. When I first met Greg, he was timid, curious, and eager to explore the world. Today he has surpassed mere curiosities and ventured to exotic locals, bustling cities, and the occasional music video, no biggie right? ;) Few people have the carisma, charm, and bravado as my dear friend Greg. He has taught me much about the world and I hope he will in turn show you something unique and or inspring.
This guy is amazing!!! The best host i've ever met in the USA so far. Full of positive energy, easy going, cool about everything, motivated every single day, funny and crazy.
SO HAPPY TO KNOW HIM :-)

Greg is the best, I showed up at his place and we left right for a bar for drinks. He took me on a run around Long Beach and even to see CALVIN HARRIS live. If you want to have a great time stay with Greg!!!
Greg is an amazing human being. Fabulous singer, guitarist, dresser, drinker, advice giver, etc, etc. Everyone needs to meet this exceptional man and spend as much time as they can with him. I am glad to call him a friend. We had a blast doing all the things he listed in the reference he left me. I will be seeing you soon, my friend.

We found Greg via Couchsearch and his profile said it all. He's a very cool guy and fun to hang out with. He still even managed to host us and show us around a little even though he needed to pack and get ready to leave for NY in a couple days! We had a great time, thanks Greg!!!
I checked out the map where to go on the West Coast while traveling the US and there was Long Beach, pretty close to L.A. and there was Greg that cool guy I sent a request for surfing his couch for a few nights. And what happened? Yeah we had an amazing time in the sun together, longboarding, rhyming at the beach, partying and getting awesome food served by Zaika. Dudes, I´ll never forget the time with you, partying all night long while work out or just cruising to L.A. and celebrate one of this crazy electro parties I thought Ive to reliquish for a long long time until I´m back in Berlin. Avalon, Baby!
Thank you so much for all the insights you gave me. Everyone should be happy to host or surf with him and get the honor to write on his wall. Live the dream instead of dream your life thats how we roll. Keep it easy and see ya again my friend. Youre so welcome to visit me in Berlin hopefully sooner then you´ve thought you will. :)
My experience with greg has been a FANTASTIC one! So fantastic, that i decided to come back after exploring vegas...not only has he been an amazing host! But he showed me around Long beach in car...and on long boards! Never a dull moment with him :) From going to whiskey bars, to kareoke :) everywhere we went we made it awesome! I would love love love if he made it near my area so i could share Canadian living because he would be extremely welcome any day, any time...thank you thank you :)

Greg has a beautiful soul! We went to high school and kept in touch all through college. We didn't get to know each other really well until after college. Greg has been a gracious and hosted many CSers. It's always fun to go on an adventure with Greg and meet his almostly weekly CSers! He is always fun, outgoing, and caring! I miss him lots every since moving to norcal.
