CURRENT MISSION

Good question...

ABOUT ME

Oh geeze, it's hard to describe myself. Here are some facts, in no particular order: I like cats and two- and three-toed sloths. I like reading but don't do it that often. I like coffee and do that all the time. My favorite color is green. I like coffee and do that all the time. I can be very talkative, though I'm sometimes quiet at first. I am looking for a purpose in life, so let me know if you have any suggestions. At the moment, I am in Vietnam hanging out and being an English teacher. In July 2011, I'll move to Tuscaloosa, AL to be a grad student.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In addition to attending events and meeting up for coffee, drinks, and activities with lots of awesome couchsurfers, I have also had a few real surfing and hosting experiences:

Hosted:
Elizabeth from Chicago
David, Alex, Bob, and Frank form Ann Arbor
Jennifer from Atlanta
I'm hoping to host many more people when I have space and a couch!

Surfed:
John and Mark in DC
Christian in Berkeley
Amy in Pittsburgh

I can't wait to add to these lists.
