I started traveling relatively young after hosting students from Spain, France, and South Korea as a kid through exchange programs. As the students went back, some of them started inviting me to spend the summers and holidays with them. As I traveled, I learned about Couchsurfing. Although I'm originally from Minnesota, I've spent the last few years living across the US. I'm a relaxed guy who enjoys hiking the island, trying new food, and, of course, laying around at the beach. There's nothing better than a good book and the sound of crashing waves.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
To meet new people and experience life in a nonconventional way. Ignorance is diminished through meeting others and challenging stereotypes. Oh, and locals always know the best food places.

Одно удивительное, что я сделал
In 2011, there was at a party on top of a mountain in Basque Country (Spain) and everyone was out having a good time with ska music and kalimotxo (wine/coke drink). It had been a long day, so I decided to hike down the mountain to the house I was staying at. I was only 16 then, and it was one of the first times I had felt completely alone. Walking down that mountain there was only wilderness and the few streetlights that lit the road. I arrived in town and no one was awake. It was like everyone had disappeared and I was the last man on Earth. Instead of heading into the house, I went down to the ocean and just listened to the waves for a while.
