Brian Shaler: Sofa Jumper

Hi, I'm Brian. I like to travel and crash on friends' couches. The people I stay with are awesome, and I blog about them here. I also share stories about traveling.

Marcus and Emily run a wonderful start-up called UserVoice.com. Norman Rockwell (a.k.a. Rocky the Dog) hangs out and chew-tests new releases before they get rolled live.
