CURRENT MISSION

Wow! Had some serious bad experiences with couchsurfing recently. So to answer your questions in advance...
1) I am unable to take couchsurfers at the last minute.
2) I do not take couchsurfers with no references, sorry I know you have to start somewhere, try hosting a few times or at least get a friend to vouch for you.
3) If you do not pass the above criteria I will ignore your request.
4) If you purchase marijuana because it is legal in Washington, that is cool, but do not get super high because you can't take it on the plane and call me when I'm working to pick you up from the airport because you are too high to fly. This has happened and I was not happy.

Despite the above comments, I do enjoy hosting. If you are a young, poor kid or couple who wants to explore the world, I'm all for hosting. However, every request has to be filtered through the roommates, I also have to check my schedule, then when the OK is given, I say yes. This may take a few days. If you say yes, then cancel at the last minute I will give you negative feedback.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy exploring Seattle or any other city I can. I enjoy comic books and many other aspects of popular culture. When not going to concerts I can be found relaxing at home, possibly brewing up a batch of homebrew beer.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, do not waste time with negative people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to lend a hand to repay the kindness others have shown me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend of mine introduced me to couchsurfing. She had nothing but positive things to say about it and introduced me to some really fun people. I had one surfer then nothing. Years pass and suddenly I had several people stay usually during the summer. I really enjoy meeting people and discussing their views and ideas unless you are a Trump supporter.

It took years and many rejections, but I finally stayed with some awesome hosts in Europe. I also have got some helpful advice and free rides to cool places in New Orleans, San Diego, and in Florida.

Interests

I enjoy comic books, drawing, and of course, traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

TV: Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, etc.

Music: I like both kinds of music, 80's and metal. Sometimes I listen to 80's metal. Seriously, I like almost all types of music. I've really been getting into "Post Rock" bands like Explosions in the Sky, Pelican, and Russian Circles.

Books: Most of the books I like have colorful pictures with variant covers. When not reading comics I like historical books, autobiographies, but I tend to gravitate to whatever my friends recommend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

your mom.

Teach, Learn, Share

If I spent my entire life trying to learn, it would not be a wasted life. However, I still would have nothing but questions and the desire to learn more. If we meet, I want to know all about your culture. If I'm hosting, I will want to share what I love about Seattle.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge of Seattle, the transportation system, the tourist attractions, and the seedy underbelly of Seattle. I'm down for concerts, sporting events, beer tastings, and the occasionally night chilling at home with a movie.
