CURRENT MISSION

Meet great people

ABOUT ME

Life is a party and everyone is invited! I live and work near Washington D.C. which is full of fun things to do and nice people to hang out with. I'm either traveling for fun, or saving up some money to travel some more. I love the feeling of waking up in a new city.

I'm kind of a night owl, so I like going out to bars and meeting random people.

At home I'm always having people over for BBQ or for my long-standing Margarita Mondays. That's where everyone comes over on Monday to drink margaritas, because, you know, it sucks to have the weekend be over on Sunday.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a fine line between contentment and complacency.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to host people when I'm at home. I like being a tourist in my own home, so I am also happy to go to the museums and monuments in Washington D.C. And of course I am happy to meet people out for a drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met great, generous people because of Couchsurfing. When I'm traveling I don't really need a place to stay, I am just happy to meet some local people and to see some places that I can't find on my own.
