CURRENT MISSION

Yeah, I am not a mission oriented type person.

ABOUT ME

Compared to some, I'm well-traveled while to others I am still a beginner. The bulk of my traveling has been to Asia and the Middle East, while I have gotten a little taste of Central America and western Europe.

I grew up in Oakland, then was gone for over a decade, and now am back (hopefully permanently).

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about the experiences you have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Kinda obvious: about 99% of my experience has been hosting couch surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting since the Spring of 2010. I figured that I should share the hospitality that I encountered during my own travels. It has been a great experience and one of the better decisions I've made.

That being said, my wife has practically no experience from it. She just knows about it through me.
