About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Settling back into living in the US

ABOUT ME

All about me. Hmm. Well I like to think I'm a well rounded guy. I like having good friends and doing fun things. Surprise surprise. I'm usually down for anything once. If I have two choices of what to do, I pick the one that I know I will remember better in 10 years.

PHILOSOPHY

I have fun now but also make sure that I plan for the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not too into CS but I really like the idea. Right now I'm living with my dad so I can't really host. I would be interested in getting to know some cool CS people that are living in Seattle right now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great experiences. A girl and myself surfed and hosted each other, in Stockholm and Berlin. It was a lot of fun. I love coming to a city and seeing it through a locals eyes. So different than what you would see anyways.
