Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
Oh hi Couchsurfing. I am a laid back, friendly guy and I like people who aren't jerks. I enjoy meeting people of all ages from all walks of life. Everybody knows something that I don't and I love finding out what that is.
I am a fan of good movies, bad movies, history, the big picture, big topics, big ideas, and big breakfast.
PHILOSOPHY
Be open minded and don't judge by appearances. People can surprise you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am always willing provide a friendly face for travellers. I try to get to events every now and then, and I'm forever singing the praises of CS to anyone who will listen.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
The experiences I've had have been incredible. The generosity of the CS community is humbling.
Interests
People. Food. Learning. The meaning of life and the fate of humanity. Seinfeld.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'll just pick one.
Volunteering at an orphanage in Tanzania was the single most transformative thing I have ever done. It was my first overseas trip and I was green as grass, but the experiences I had (both good and bad) and the people I met I will never forget.
Teach, Learn, Share
I think there is a lot to learn from just talking to people. Everyone has their own unique way of looking at life, their problems, and the world's ills.
I speak Spanish better than your average gringo (which doesn't say a lot) and I am trying to improve.
