CURRENT MISSION

I want to see and experience as much of this planet as possible.

ABOUT ME

funny, intelligent, has a world view, NOT an ugly American, loves life and travel, good friend, street smart

PHILOSOPHY

I can't be defined in this box.

I like the things that interest me:
Travel, Flight, Meeting people not like me, making money, technology, beautiful things and people.

I'm insanely jealous of Anthony Bourdain - why didn't my guidance counselor tell me about "They pay you to travel everywhere, meet all kinds of people, eat their food and yak about it on camera" job field!

If you don't travel and meet other people where "they" are at - you've missed so much in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing when I can.

Being a pilot I'm not home a lot but when I am - I'm willing to meet you and welcome you into my home. I may have my young twin boys when you get here but you'll just get to know me/us better.

Socializing with others and telling others about the awesome idea that is CS'ing
