About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world, one couch at a time.

ABOUT ME

Waking me up from my nap will result in very incoherent & unproductive conversation, QUIT IT!

It's always seems to be 12:51 whenever I check the time.

PHILOSOPHY

Balls First, Brains Later.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first time I couch surfed I had pancakes and coffee made for me the next morning.

The second time I couch surfed my tab was covered for dinner and I was given a key to their house!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After couch surfing in Seattle, I picked up a hitch-hiker on my way back to Portland (who was also going to Portland) because I was in a generous mood. Turns out that person was ALSO a couch surfer! She stayed at my place, and I helped her find another spot in Portland to stay at there after.
