ABOUT ME:
Follow me: @2shaneztravels
Couchsurfing is a big part of my life and although there have been some changes to the organization, there are still great people out there.
I've learned so many beautiful lessons...most importantly...the world is GOOD!
Surfing: I want to learn about you and your life. I'll play the guitar, you bring your voice. I'm self sufficient, but would love to spend time with you and your friends! I take great pride in being respectful of people's places, cleaning up after myself and being courteous to my hosts.
I'm very talkative and outgoing. I can go out with the best, but can also spend a quiet evening at home. I love intelligent conversation and exploring the city by night.
I'm most certainly likely to be "Yes Man". Would you like to go the beach? Yes! Would you like to climb that mountain? Yes! Would you like to try this dish? Yes!
I'm very respectful, clean, talkative, excitable, and inquisitive. I have a strong desire to learn new things, try new foods and broaden my perspective.
PHILOSOPHY
"What would you do if you weren't afraid?" excerpt from "Who moved my cheese?"
"'What do you do for recreation?' 'Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.'" The Dude
"Nie wieder Berlin!" Eurotrip

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've jumped off a bridge in Sweden, was featured in a Wal-Mart commercial, made a crop circle, went to a sauna in Finland with 100 naked dudes and caught a donut thrown from Bruce Willis ( It's true, and a great story! )
Teach, Learn, Share
I pride myself in knowing how to say something amusing in every language, such as, "My unicorn is dead!" What can you add?
I love creating music! Whether it's guitar or piano or harmonica, if you can sing, let's collaborate!
I can teach guitar, magic tricks, juggling and how to say Spongebob's name in every language!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Friendship, late night jam sessions and some fabulous stories.
