CURRENT MISSION Live every minute! ABOUT ME Venus and I recently moved to Dallas. I am from Ohio and she is from Venezuela. I travel a bit for pleasure and a ton for work.... I love latin america and am studying spanish, I am almost fluent but am my own worst critic. I really enjoy nice beer and wine and good company and good chat. Venus is also a vet, working in the lab. PHILOSOPHY You only live once...make it count! Disfruta la vida!!!

MYSELF CONSIDERED I have lived as both a son and a father, a student and a teacher, a beggar and a lender, a brother and a stranger, a native and a foreigner. I have spent most of my life until now travelling the world through other people—those who have come to my part of the world and blessed me with their experience of my own homeland, my own culture, my own language, my own people. I truly have had the privilege of sharing my table and to unwittingly reap from those sitting across from me more than I sowed. All that to say, people can only be described in so many words, and I am no exception. I used to ask people 'what they DO' and quickly found out that the answer is so often disconnected from what who they actually ARE—who they are created to be. I am not simply, for instance, a musician, a store manager, a husband, or a father—those hats I wear from time to time; I am these things, but they are not the reason for which I was created. I believe that I was created to be a table maker. I am most fulfilled when I am preparing those kinds of places to which people bring themselves to be filled, to find rest, and to share themselves. I am however only an apprentice to this craft, but I enjoy the pleasure of having had many wonderful teachers during the course of my life. That is who I am and am becoming.

CURRENT MISSION To travel the world, for cheap. ABOUT ME I'm an Australian/American who is currently living out life in Dallas, TX. I try to spend as much of my time in nature as possible. PHILOSOPHY I live my life to gain a better understanding of the people around me. If we do not all learn together, then it would be as if we learned nothing at all.

Hey! I'm Christopher. Some of my favorite activities are camping, hiking, kayaking, trail running, and just having meaningful conversations with people. I'm happy to join travelers or locals to do outdoor activities, visit museums, explore a new neighborhood, or even visit touristy locations. I work remotely and often rent an apartment in a city for a few months to experience the culture and to learn what it’s like to live as a local there. Then, I move to a new place and repeat. When I explore new cities, I typically have a couch in whatever apartment I rent, so I host people as I travel. I've hosted people all over the world in whatever country I happened to be living in at the time from France across Europe and then back to the U.S. Right now I’m in hosting in Dallas, Texas.
