I left my home of Portland Oregon USA in September 2015 to travel the world with my girlfriend Laura. Since then we have visited many counties. I love to experience new cultures, backpack and learn about religion, history, and politics. My favorite thing about traveling is meeting interesting people from all over the world. I love to exchange ideas with people and learn more about their perspective. I also love to try new foods and learn to cook dishes from all over the world! I want to learn to fish, hunt, and generally be more self sufficient. I love a good beer, hot cup of coffee, a snifter full of whiskey...basically I like beverages. For now I am stationary in Salt Lake City, UT so its time for me to give back to this amazing community that has supported me in my world travels. Excited to Hots folks and hang out with local CSers! If you want to check out Laura's profile https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/laura-dusold, we do most of our traveling together and have lots of references on both of our accounts.
