CURRENT MISSION: Connect with other good people, Read good books, and See the World in all its diversity and beauty. ABOUT ME “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” - Mark Twain After graduating from college in Colorado in 2007, I bought a one-way-ticket to Hawaii. I didn't know a single person there, I didn't have a job, and I didn't have a place to stay. I brought a tent to sleep in, clothes to wear, and my own two feet to get me where I wanted to go. "You have brains in your head, and feet in your shoes. You can go any direction you choose!" I got a job at vegan juice and smoothie bar, worked four days a week, and had the best time of my life. Hawaii has beautiful beaches, and beautiful people. It is everything it's cracked up to be, and more. Much, much more. In the last ten years, I have lived in 11 different cities in eight different states in five different time zones. I have attended nine different colleges, and had dozens of different jobs. I thrive on travel. There is no substitute for the insight, knowledge, and perspective gained from meeting a variety of people and experiencing different cultures. The song that best describes me and my worldview is "I Cannot Settle Down," by Peter Bradley Adams: "Somewhere in this lonely world There is a place where I belong. And I have seen its fields and streams They have been revealed in my dreams. But you see I cannot settle down. There's just too much left unfound. I keep drifting like a cloud On the wind, on the wind." PHILOSOPHY To those who possess open minds, eager hearts, and a love for adventure: You shan't be disappointed. To everyone else: You needn't squander my time.

Updated: September 2025 I am a Couchsurfing host who is fun, outgoing, well-traveled, and very open-minded – willing to try anything twice! Someone once told me that life was more fun when operating outside the comfort zone. They were right, and this is why I offer my guests an opportunity to step outside of their comfort zones and explore and experience things they normally wouldn’t. I joke around a lot, so I may not be the best host for you if you are easily offended. I don’t discriminate based on race, religion, sexual orientation (I am bi), political beliefs, etc. I do, however, judge people by their character. I enjoy spending time with the Couchsurfers I host but don’t expect Couchsurfers to spend all of their time with me. Sometimes I am too busy to spend a lot of time with guests. I enjoy outdoor grilling, mutual cooking, having some drinks, and engaging in stimulating conversations with my guests. Some of my favorite topics are travel, the cultures of my guests, current events, your life, and my life. I will talk minimally about politics. I have visited many countries and worked in various fields, from corporate America to the porn industry. Therefore, I have many things we can talk about. Great Couchsurfing experiences depend on the host/guest sharing some mutual interests and beliefs. Therefore, it is imperative that you read the My Home section, where you will learn more about what it is like to Couchsurf in my home. When requesting me as a host, please make mention that you have read this section and let me know: - Why you are visiting Austin - The mode by which you will arrive (plane, bus, car, etc.) - Expected time of arrival - Why you believe we are a good match - Which interests we have in common - That you have read my profile I generally do not accept requests that are generic in nature or fail to mention my name in the greeting. I do not want to host Couchsurfers who use drugs. It is not my scene. I also prefer to host non-smokers, but smoking is only allowed outside if you are a smoker (this includes vaping).
