ABOUT ME

I'm that guy who starts the conversation on the bus, asks the questions in class, and rounds up everyone at the park for a game of Ultimate Frisbee. I freakin' wrote an ebook called How To Make A Friend In 10 Days.

What else? Let's see...

-I play drums and guitar
-I write every day
-I live to encourage people (to literally put courage in them)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe everyone is unbelievably blessed, but most are too scared to live like it. This tension, between gratitude and fear, is what I'm all about.

I have an amazing life because I'm driven by intense thankfulness. I want to inspire others with the courage to do the same.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can. I surf when I can. I meetup with people when I can. I love the community, so whenever I can, I try to participate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fantastic! I've surfed, hosted, and met with people through the site. I love the community. I particularly enjoy getting to know a new country or city, especially the food, through a host I've never met before surfing. I like to be the host in that kind of situation too.
