CURRENT MISSION

To run away from America :-P

ABOUT ME

2017 update: I am married and have a toddler. So obviously not participating much at this point. I still love the community and all the experiences I've had. Would love to help in any way I can, but obviously not hosting. The rest of this profile is very very very outdated.

I used to travel a lot, but not so much since going back to school in 2011.
Just living day to day and dreaming about traveling some more.
I worked as a paralegal on the weekdays and at a liquor store on the weekends (got to save up money for more adventures)- but now in law school.

Travel wise: I am excited to do the city thing and the crunchy hiking thing too. Really not planning to much, I going to see where the winds take me... hopefully close to the beach

PHILOSOPHY

I couldn't wait for success, so I went on ahead without it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While i was traveling- i was all about the CS scene... partys, gatherings, hosting, surfing etc...

But back home i've found myself usually to busy to participate... i gotta free up some time and dive back into the scene

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive met dozens of surfers during my travels... surfed some myself and have been trying to host when i can

Update- it sounds silly, but in bangkok after partying and dancing, i have "hosted" people by having them come back to my guesthouse room to sleep. One night i had 4 cs friends and myself all on the bed (a double)- except i think one person couldnt sleep and left :-P

Interests

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, chess, biking, hiking, sports, socializing , and good conversations/arguments.

I am a huge animal lover- but in no way a vegetarian...

Fun times with fun people... sometimes even at fun places!
