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.

I got behind on posting these.. I crashed on Andrew’s couch back in February. He invited me to visit for Ignite Boulder, which he organizes. The event was a blast. The people in the Boulder tech/internet community are amazing.

Andrew founded Startup Weekend and currently works for TechStars. His passion is start-ups, and he has a lot of great insights on them. Personally, what I like most about him is that he shares a lot of the same perspectives I have on quality of life and traveling.

Last fall, Andrew and I bought a bunch of tickets to one of the last Yankees game at the old Yankees stadium and gave them away to some awesome people via Twitter. *Less than a week later* Andrew and I bumped into each other in San Francisco, so we scalped a couple of tickets to a Giants game. Totally awesome.
