About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible! Help me do it!

ABOUT ME

I have couch surfed in 4 different continents and in 9 different countries. I really love couch surfing. Its such an amazing concept--taking two completely different strangers (or groups of people) from across the world and having them spend the night with each other. Its a great social experiment to see how people truly are regardless of culture, ethnicity, or gender.

I am a strong environmentalist at heart, a strong activist in spirit, and a funny guy in action! I hope that if I host you I can at least make you laugh once. A day without laughter is a day wasted.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love and love doing it.
