About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people that think really weird things and have ideas that I've never heard of. Original ideas are great; realizing you probably heard them somewhere else first is even better.

ABOUT ME

I travel a lot. I love learning languages and experiencing new cultures, ideas, etc. My preferred mode of transportation is hitchhiking, because you have to be a little bit weird to hitchhike, but the people who pick hitchhikers up are also often crazy interesting!

PHILOSOPHY

If it makes for a good story (and I don't die), then I'm all about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm very new. I haven't earned my way yet in the CS world, but there are constantly people staying over at my place, so it's a natural transition to a larger network of travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept in probably hundreds of different places in dozens of different countries. The best experiences are probably those that went horribly wrong, but turned out to be great stories. Like I said, I haven't yet had any official CS experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've got a lot of good stories, I think, but the most interesting for sure was when I ran into two Amish guys with AK-47s in Iraq. I kid you not. I even have photos to prove it.
