I won't be able to hosting until roughly mid-May. Send me a request if you plan on being here around then or later!

I'm a geeky dude with an active social life. I've traveled a lot but my spot's in Portland. I enjoy being snooty amongst the hipsters and trying to bite my tongue whenever someone spouts some fruity new age pseudoscience nonsense while I spike their water with Fluoride when they're not looking.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I used to surf but in my old age I'm just looking to host and travel vicariously through others. I love showing people around the city and telling them weird facts about my home. Did you know that Portland has the smallest park in the world? It's true!

兴趣

I've got pretty extensive knowledge in partner dancing. Blues, swing, salsa, tango, etc.

I have a pretty heavy background in nerdiness. I have an impressive board game collection and could probably hold my own in a buddy campaign of Dark Souls. Always down to gab about the latest in nerd pop culture.

I love cycling around the city, coming up with weird games to play with others, searching for random boxes of stuff in the wilderness and just all around passing the time being as interesting as possible.

Your odds of a response will go up significantly if you start your first sentence with the word Zanzibar.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have lived at a Walmart parking lot for over a week.

I've biked naked with thousands of other naked people in the streets. Twice.

Couchsurfing is an idea. It's the belief that you give and give and give then give some more. If you're lucky, others will return that favor in kind but do NOT expect it! That's not the point. The point is that you're making the world a better place by offering all that you have to offer. In the most literal sense, you're lucky to have a couch in a place that someone finds interesting enough to visit and you have the means to make their visit better.

That being said, don't be a pushover. There are people in this world that take and take and take and it's your responsibility to pull back when they come because they ruin a good thing for others that appreciate it. There's being welcoming and inclusive then there's being a doormat.
