CURRENT MISSION

Prolonging getting a real job as long as possible... and to survive my final year in Kazakhstan

ABOUT ME

Right now I'm a Peace Corps volunteer in Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan. I'm currently using Central Asia as a staging point for some world travelling. Uh, let's see. I'm pretty laid back and don't think I'd be a pain in the ass if you hosted me. I can stay out of your hair or grab a beer with you. I'm flexible like that.

PHILOSOPHY

Rules is rules

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If anybody can locate my city in the middle of the Kazakh steppe, it's the least I can do to host them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a little new here.
