IMPORTANT: I only host at certain "specific" times, so please read my profile in full before making "any" requests. I am in different places/cities/states/countries during different times of the year. So please make sure I am actually where you want to stay during the time you want to stay!

Believe it or not, I am actually preparing (taking reservations) for Mardi Gras 2020 (as I host every year!)! Since hotels and such fill up very quickly. So apply "NOW" if you want to join us for the massive party! But please read my profile! Only accepting party minded fun-wild people! In my Profile Pics there is a Shirt I am wearing with a Photo that was taken at Mardi Gras. Make sure to take a look at it, so you know what kind of parties we have there!

NEXT HOSTING DATES:

EUROPE:
Innsbruck/Austria July 20th-Aug 30th, 2019 (August 13th-19th I am away for Frequency)

NEW ORLEANS:
MARDI GRAS 2020: FEBRUARY 27th-March 7th, 2020(or there abouts)- Please check out http://mardigrasparty.blogspot.com for more information, photos, and what to expect during Mardi Gras. I will have limited space for 2020, as I host roughly 4 or 5 people each Mardi Gras. But only-Fun/Party People, so please check out the links to pics, info and my profile first! If you are not there to drink and have fun, then don't bother! It's an adult alcohol fueled party. That means lots of sex and nudity!

TRAVEL PLANS:

EUROPE 2019: I will return once again to Europe/Austria/Sweden/Denmark/Switzerland, and Germany June 26th-Aug 30th, and will be able to host again within this time frame. Just ask where I am before you request. I usually host the most while in Innsbruck, Austria.

ABOUT ME:
I love to meet new people, do new stuff, draw, create, drink, party and travel-If you want to stay with me, please take the time to read through my profile and look at my pictures, because that way you will know what kind of person I am, the stuff I like to do, and the kind of people I like to hang out with (I am in Europe for my personal vacation). As well as the exact dates I can host, since they are limited to when I am on vacation myself.

Every year I mainly host people at various times, during various events while I am on vacation. The first hosting of each year being during Mardi Gras, followed by a convention I attend each Spring in a random state, usually around the beginning or middle of June (It happens to be in March/April next year and will be in Seattle). Followed lastly by my annual (2 month long) trip to Innsbruck, Austria/greater Europe. Where I spend each summer visiting my friends, going to various music festivals and outdoor events. During these times I host a SELECT group of (mostly) European Visitors. More often than not I rent a hotel or suite and invite friends and strangers alike to come stay and enjoy themselves. Especially if I happen to host people during MARDI GRAS, one of the BIGGEST and WILDEST parties in the United States! I only want to meet or host other party-Minded people/individuals!

As for me. I am both a US and EU/French Citizen by birth. I grew up in the US and Europe and love to travel as a result. I do not think the US is the best place in the world, nor do I think it is the worst place in the world (Even now with that idiot Trump in Office). I'm mixed, both ethnically, genetically and culturally (I had my DNA done for fun). Because of my unique upbringing & heritage, I have a much different world view than most Americans or people in general do. I love to talk, laugh, go to the movies, almost all forms of art that are visual (I'm a comic book artist/illustrator by trade & one of those people who can make anything out of anything lying around the house-Same with food as well), I do not like the taste of alcohol, but I really, really enjoy being drunk, as well as to party and enjoy myself whenever I can with equally fun and outgoing people. I am also an avid fan of photography and spend a lot of time taking pictures of everything around me, so being camera shy is not really an option if you plan to be around me.

PEOPLE I LIKE TO HOST: I especially like to host people reasonably close to me in age, at least 21 (for Mardi Gras only) so they can legally drink and up to their late 30's or very early 40's. That is pretty much the cut off for me to host. I also especially enjoy hosting people who are very social and outgoing. Who make friends easily and are not shy. Also you can look and act like a hippie, but just don't smell like one if you want to stay with me. Also I eat meat! There will always be meat of some kind when and where I host, as well as dairy products. So if you are a vegetarian or vegan, you need to know this ahead of time. I am also a non smoker (and I seriously mean it when I say that, "I don't smoke ANYTHING!"). I really dislike to be around people who smoke or even smell like it. I also drink like a fish during my vacation time as I do not drink in the US normally.

LINKS: While in Europe this/every summer I will be attending The Roskilde Music Festival (www.roskilde-festival.dk) in Denmark, The Zurich Street Parade in Switzerland (www.streetparade.ch (Think the Berlin Love Parade, but without the accidental deaths), and the Frequency Music Festival in Austria (www.frequency.at). If anyone here is able to go & would like to meet, please let me know. Even if you just need some info about going for the first time.

Oh, and here is just one of the ways I can tell if someone hasn't actually read my profile in full. You can call me PAT when you message me, not PGK. Also there is a blog too you need to read for people interested in Mardi Gras...

PHILOSOPHY
Give more than you take from this world, & try not to be too much of an asshole to the people around you I guess (Though we are all assholes sometime or another).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to host or meet people when I am traveling. I am not really into surfing other people's couches. I also will tell people where they should go while in Innsbruck or some other place I have often frequented.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I travel a lot and like to host or meet people and show them around. Usually while I am in Europe or on vacation somewhere in the US. I am rarely in the US for more than 8 months at a time.
