Couch Information


     << CouchSurf with Andrew Judkins!    

Couch Available: Yes
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 1

Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: No

In a private room, I have a tiny couch that folds out to a tiny bed.

I live in a small apartment in northwest Portland, within walking distance of lots of neat stuff! There are tons of restaurants and bars right outside, yet it's nice and quiet in my apartment.

I live alone and can host/show people around depending on what's happening in my life at the time. Weekends are best. The duration of your stay really just depends on how available I am.

No pets. No smoking.

Personal Description

My business is happiness! I love smiling and I love making other people smile! That's the most important bit about me, but if you want to know more, read on: I spent 6.5 years in college/university chasing different science topics - whichever amazed me at the time. In the end, the university said, "Listen Mr. Judkins, how 'bout we just give you a degree in 'General Science'?" I worked for five years doing hazardous waste disposal and refining my world-saving skills in an effort that led to joining the Peace Corps. I spent two years in Bulgaria as an environmental education volunteer, which further developed my passion for development. After Peace Corps, I organized and implemented a mission of global, cultural understanding in an effort to spread peace like peace has never been spread before! I just finished grad school in Costa Rica, where I studied the unique and complex dynamics of natural resources and peace! Now I'm home and excited to begin a new adventure!

How I Participate in CS

I'm using Couchsurfing for different cultural exhange opportunities, for my own personal growth and enjoyment as well as to supplement my Supercross08 project of international understanding and peace through dialogue.

Interests

I'm interested in travel, volunteering for community and personal development, and cross cultural exhanges! My other interests are running and being active, as well as science and nature!

Philosophy

I'm too busy chasing my passions to be burdened with living up to my potential!

Music, Movies, Books

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Alchemist, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Cosmos, On the Road, Catch-22

Types of People I enjoy

I enjoy happy people who smile!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you can make someone feel good, then you're doing something right!

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

In 2001 my left lung spontaneously collapsed and a third of it had to be removed by surgery. I fought back against my body and have achieved a 3rd Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo and ran the Athens Marathon in 4:10:15!

Andrew is the best. You will not meet a more contagiously enthusiastic human being in your life! Never in his life has he ended a sentence in a period; in his world, they all end in exclamation points and jazz hands. Knowing Andrew has been one of the great pleasures of my life. He has a sharp mind and a good heart. Hosting/surfing with him will be a memorable experience.

They were just like stream of energy and fresh air in our life. These guys were so helpful and considerate that we have never felt discomfort together even in our small flat. We will miss you, guys!

I wouldn´t let him to stay at my place that long if he wasn´t such a great, sweet and well-behaved boy.
Anyways, just one advice maybe, don´t let him drink cherry booze on the last night, he might leave some at your place (in the bathroom) :-)))
Otherwise, I miss you already, Andrew!

Andrew and I were both Peace Corps Volunteers in Varna, BG!! He has an amazing spirit and is a good guy. He can make mean chocolate chip cookies, and his soup, and pizza (when he remembers to use yeast) aren't so bad either :)

Andy is a bundle of joy and energy who will make any experience you share with him "the BEST ever!!!"
In Peace Corps, we were in the same training group and had a blast...wherever Andy is, fun is sure to be there or to closely follow :)

Andy is the happiest and most positive person in the world. You will be too after spending time with him. Plus, he knows how to make biodiesel and is HAZWOPER certified.

Smart, interesting and dynamic all describe Andy. One of the most flexible people I've ever met, with the notable exception of his toothbrushing addiction.
