CURRENT MISSION

To get more healthy, get more money, and get more laid. Always.

ABOUT ME

I like to be open - to new people, new situations, new opportunities. I try to keep a level of stability and organization in my life with enough room to be impulsive when I need to. I recognize the importance and benefits of having a routine, but I have to do things to remind myself I'm living in the present.

PHILOSOPHY

"Try not to be a man of success. Rather, try to be a man of value." -Albert Einstein

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've always kept an open home to friends - in town for a couple days, too much to drink, etc. I've also offered up my home to those who need it. I love surfing and meeting new people and I truly hope to be able repay the favor at some point! My couch is currently unavailable to passers by, but I promise to open it up as my situation updates.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used Couch Surfing to get myself across the country after college (career hunting). I met a lot of incredibly cool, totally open people, learned some cool things, and heard some great stories. It's changed who I am, and it's lent me a general optimism about people that some of friends find hard to understand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Showed up to Bonnaroo music festival in the sweltering summer heat with everything I owned in the back of my car. No tent, no plans for sleeping or survival arrangements. Going solely off of my ability to make friends and banking on the friendliness of my neighbors, I was able to find some great people to not only sleep alongside, but share the entire experience with. Spontaneous diiversity and community outside the realms of arranged couch surfing = awesomeness.

Teach, Learn, Share
