CURRENT MISSION

My dad backpacked around Europe and parts of northern Africa. That sounds pretty neat to a post-college kid. So I think I'd like to follow in his footsteps, starting in Germany.

ABOUT ME

We are Christian, which means we strive through our shortcomings like everybody else but we live with a great hope that does not disappoint. I like to read, run, play guitar, watch movies and listen to music. I absolutely enjoy getting outside and enjoying nature. Hanging out with friends while enjoying nature is a plus. I like to believe that I am a joyful, funny person. People say I have a unique, infectious laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

I think belief in YHWH through Jesus is the only consistent way to experience fulfillment and satisfaction in this life and after. I strive to love others and to be humble in my actions and words. Participating in CouchSurfing is one expression of that. And for the record, I understand completely if you think my philosophy is bogus. If you want to discuss, it's up to you.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host whenever we get the opportunity, and surf a lot, too. We've done a lot of unofficial hosting off the network too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have surfed 9 times and hosted even more times so far. It's been really super.
