CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

PLEASE SEND A COUCH REQUEST (NOT A MESSAGE) IF YOU WANT TO SURF WITH US :)
We enjoy and have given new Surfers in the past their first CS experience, but it makes us SO happy to see a request from someone with a full profile, several photos and at least one reference! :) And we love hosting groups of travelers :)

We are overly interested in most things!

PHILOSOPHY

"Sometimes ya gotta race..."

"Listen in deep silence. Be very still and open your mind. Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts. Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sights and sounds of this insane world. You do not live here. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome."

"Never trust a fart in India"

If you are a dreamer come in
If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer
If you're a pretender come sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin
Come in!
Come in!

"I get home one day and all the pickle juice is gone. I asked my roommate, hey man, what happened to the pickle juice. He said, I threw it away, it was just pickle juice. I said, its not just pickle juice, I flick that on my sandwiches for flavor. I told them, hey man, you know I got to hurt one of your lizards now. He has like seven lizards thats way too many lizards, they dont do shit. They have never been on Animal Planet, theyre not even famous lizards. They are random lizards. They chill in my apartment all day to have lights on them all the time but they wont put any money on the light bill, who these lizards get all these free lights, I pay for my lights, I will fry one of those lizards, and have a lizard sandwich and flick pickle juice on it."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've attended meetings in several major cities throughout Europe, as well as, CS parties. (which are probably the most entertaining, culturally diverse events a person could attend) Ive met for coffee and drinks several times throughout my travels. Ive gone to nightclubs(discotechs) and concerts with tons of my fellow surfers! We have hosted events and try to attend as many local events as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once hosted a couple couch surfers traveling coast to coast through the states. I wasn't a member of the site at the time; a friend just asked if i could host 2 of his friends for him while he was out of town. I didn't find out they were from couchsurfing until the 2nd night of their stay. It was fine though because they were really cool and we had a great time!

Since then Ive joined the site and have utilized it to travel and make awesome friends all over Europe. I think that everyone that uses CS is great. Definitely the type of people that are passionate about learning new things and being sociable. The hardest thing for me is leaving a city after falling in love with it and becoming so close to my host(s) and friends in the area.
