CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the world, spending time with neat people

ABOUT ME

I am kind and curious and friendly and like to smile and have fun whether that be reading a book at home or on a beach or finding a new restaurant or clubbing with friends new and old. I try to go out of my way to make sure others are having a good time and I like confident, considerate people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be a good person, good things will happen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed, then hosted, then surfed again, now I can host again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The northern lights; the feeling of accomplishment upon sending a tough rock climbing problem/route you've been working for weeks; my first solo flight in the mountains of North Carolina at sunset.

Quit my job with my girlfriend in December 2014 to travel the world, came back 9 months later to a new city, new job, and new friends

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

A laugh or smile, a good meal, hours upon hours of random conversation and philosophizing
