I'm a 28 year old itinerant house-sitter, writer, and web-developer. I dig traveling to far-away lands, shooting billiards, taking long meandering bike trips, telling bawdy jokes, pretending you didn't wound my ego a little bit when you beat me at chess, attending music festivals, eating chocolate drinking wine, and hoarding alternative comics from the mid-90s.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently attended my first Couchsurfing Meetup. Success! Huge success! I've hosted and I've surfed. I've met some really rad folks through Couchsurfing.
