I love music of every style and every tempo. I believe any experience is made better by sharing it with others. I think palm trees are beautiful. I am skeptical of people that claim to have it 'all figured out'. I love helping my friends. I am at war with mosquitoes and useful id1ots. I love losing myself in sports, crafts, games, conversations, and music. I try to work out a little bit, every day. I respect Vegans, Vegetarians, and Teetotalers a lot. I critize alcohol but I still drink, sometimes. I love playing with kids, dogs, and cats, if they're playful. I love to write jokes, and perform them in an open-mic once every couple of years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host when I can. I surf when I want. I'll hangout if I remember to turn the damn feature on. I try to be helpful always.

Comparatively speaking, I'm a newbie (look at the real OG's with 500+ references...). I first surfed in Vancouver and have been hooked ever since! Most recently I was in a position to host quite a bit when I was living right back in Vancouver, BC, but presently I'm living out my somewhat overdue Digital Nomad fantasy!

Amazing? I don't really know how to recognize amazingness in myself, only in others. Is that bad?
