CURRENT MISSION

I'm going to Europe this Summer for my first tour of the continent.

ABOUT ME

I'm a southerner from the United States traveling the world by teaching English. I speak bits and pieces of five different languages, fluent in English and Spanish. I like to hike, snowboard, and fish. I never turn down a good pint of beer, and my favorite sport to watch is rugby.

PHILOSOPHY

We can never know what the ultimate reason or purpose of everything is, but in the meantime we have a beautiful planet to explore and enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Later this year, I will have a flat in South Korea as well as the other places I travel to for work. I hope to be in Europe in 2010, and I'd be more than willing to put up anyone traveling through the area.
