Couch Information

Awesome Experience: Yes

I can offer you a bunk bed if there are two of you, and there's also a lot of floor space in the private bedroom. There are usually at least two free beds, often more. The bathroom is shared.

My house looks something like this

I'm currently living with my family (mom, sister, and sometimes a brother or two). My family is possibly the nicest group of people in the world. We've got a spacious house and can probably offer you your own bedroom with bunk beds and lots of floor space. I live in Katy, a suburb in the West of Houston. Houston's a sprawling city so we're far from the center, about 45 minutes driving. Public transportation, like in most of Houston, is crap. I do go to the center fairly often for the baseball games, though, so I might be able to offer you a ride. We can also offer you a shower and general hospitality. I don't require you to write my name or prove that you've read my profile by titling your request something like "armadillo shit." I appreciate personalized requests as much as the next guy, but you can copy/paste your request and call me Gordon if you want, I'll still host you. Although if you're reading this, you're not one of those people so I guess it's not worth mentioning. I don't ask for anything in return, but I do appreciate a nice note because I like to save them :)

I've got a small cat but she's hypoallergenic, so if you're allergic to cats then you don't have to worry! If you have a fear of things that are adorable, you may want to think twice.

Smokers are welcome to smoke on the porch with my mom. If you smoke inside then I will happily sew your lips shut.

I met Kevin while he was passing through Tallahassee and he is such a cool guy. He has so many awesome traveling stories and we had a mutual love of wine and DMB. Kevin convinced me to get on CS and I am forever indebted to him! Hope our paths cross again :)

Kevin is engaging and chill. He only surfed one night, but he was easy, friendly, and full of couch surfing stories! Come back anytime!

Kevin, a genuine example of a fine surfer!

This was the second family I've ever stayed with and am so glad I did. Kevin and his family were so welcoming and wonderful. I literally felt I belonged amongst them. I loved hanging out and out enjoyed all the little jokes we had.

He is a very interesting person and really made me think more in depth about CSing and traveling in general.

If you're in his neck of the woods or he's in yours, don't forget the chance to meet this awesome dude!

Positive

Even though Kevin had drive all day, he was down to see what New Orleans had to offer at night. Since I already began to party before he got here, it was a pleasure to hang out with him 'til the morning. He was so kind to put my bike in his car to bring it home. He is a really nice person.

Positive

Kevin was a wonderful Texan couchsurfer who stayed over a night. He's a friendly, enjoyable person who on top of that is an expert in French with lots of stories to tell! We shared great talks and laughs and definitely hope to see him around soon whether here in Florida or in Texas!

Kevin was a great guest! We stayed up all night exchanging CS stories and chatting about our goals, dreams, etc. He has a great taste in music (and wine) and I highly recommend hosting him! I hope to see/host/surf with him again!

Kevin organizes the Language Exchange/Polyglot meetup and does a great job of engaging different people. He's easy to talk to and eager to learn more about language in general.
