I am an amateur traveler who has quickly learned that the locals to a new city are what can make a good trip a fantastic experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is a much better way to experience a new city rather than a character lacking hotel. Hopefully long time friendships may be made in the process.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped over the hood of a car on my skateboard as I was about to crush my ribs on the front driver side.

Teach, Learn, Share

For all kindness a host shows by allowing me to stay in their home, I will gladly exchange that for some guitar lessons.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First and foremost let's knock out those dirty dishes and fold those towels. I'll gladly help with any chores around the house. A new kitchen is like a playground to me. I would absolutely love to help cook a meal for everyone. Most importantly I feel it is my civic Texan duty to exhibit that Lone Star State residents can be open minded, kind, and welcoming of all walks of life and new places.
