I am a shameless goofball who spends his time doing stupid but memorable things with the people I love. I am not afraid to be myself and encourage others to do the same; to look silly, take risks, try new things, and find friends who have the same crazy spunk that keep the world entertaining and life worth living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
