My name is Mike Hendricks. I am originally from West Long Branch, New Jersey, USA. I live with my wife Carly and my dog Leo in Columbia, MO, USA. I am pursuing a PhD in Political Science at the University of Missouri. My wife is a third grade teacher in Columbia and is also pursuing her MA in Public Affairs at the University of Missouri. Both my wife and I love to travel. We actually met in Nicaragua during our Peace Corps service (2011-2013). I was a TEFL volunteer in San Marcos, Carazo and my wife was an Environmental Education volunteer in Chichigalpa, Chinandega. We both have extensive travel experience and experience living abroad. I have lived in Ecuador, Spain, Nicaragua, and China. My wife has lived in Mexico and Nicaragua. Between the two of us we have traveled to over thirty countries and forty states. We are always seeking out new places and new experiences through travel.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
When my wife and I travel we usually stay at hostels that are within our budget. We still plan to stay at hostels because we love the atmosphere of hostels and getting to know people from our country and from different countries. However, we think that Couchsurfing is a great economical mode for travel and it is also a great way to meet new people and experience a place that you are visiting firsthand with people that live in the actual place.
Musique, films et livres
For all three categories, I am pretty open to anything. I do not like to pigeon hole myself into one category or genre. If it interests me or provides me with satisfaction, I will look into it.
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
Volcano boarding in Nicaragua.
Enseigner, apprendre, partager
I can teach and share things that I have learned throughout my travels, and I want to continue to learn things as I travel so that I can continue teaching and sharing what I find throughout my experiences.
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
