Im a friendly, well-mannered guy from Atlanta, currently a 4yr stint in the US Army. I've traveled extensively both inside and outside the military, and I am passionate about language and intercultural relations.

Most of the time I use hostels when traveling or stay at friends, but it seems like CS, despite the horror stories, is the little hidden gem of travel - the focus on social connections and intangibles rather than money.

I can cook pretty good and clean as well if that helps any.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to try it out because I meet so many Couchsurfers in Hawaii and it seems to be a really ingenious system so I might as well try it myself. I hope to become a host some day.
