Overview
About Me
Before I started traveling I was a sales manager at a furniture store, a chef at a high end restaurant and a real estate wholesaler.
Since I've started traveling I've been picking up gigs to fund my travels. I've framed apartment buildings, shingled houses, programmed smartphone apps, and even developed trading algorithms for crypto currencies.
My goal is to live life to the fullest and have as many experiences as possible.
My favorite experience so far has been when I hitchhiked from Wisconsin to California and back. I also loved traveling around Mexico and visiting Mayan ruins.
I look forward to sharing a drink with you while sharing stories and wisdom.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing in order to meet new people, have an awesome and authentic experience, as well as to learn as much as I can.
Interests
Anytime I'm not learning something new, I'm usually working on making some money. I enjoy finding odd jobs and giving more value than I receive.
- movies
- fishing
- hunting
- business
- learning new things
- computers
Music, Movies, and Books
For books, I like to read mostly nonfiction books or books that have a lesson to teach. Books that focus on the hero's journey tend to be my favorite i.e. "The Alchemist".
For music, I listen to a little bit of everything. It all depends on my mood. From hip hop/rap to classical to edm to rock to jazz. I usually put Pandora on shuffle and just go with the flow.
For movies I tend to be drawn to futuristic, action, or drama/romance. I have a hard drive with close to 2000 movies on it so we can definitely find something to watch.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I hitchhiked across America by getting rides from over 100 strangers.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm currently looking to learn new languages, philosophies, and just to explore and see the world. I love sharing my knowledge in business, sales, food and discussing philosophies and ways of life.
What I Can Share with Hosts
If you run a business I can help with internet marketing, sales, websites, and even programming as I went to school to become a software engineer.
I'm an amazing cook and I'm not afraid to get dirty as I grew up on a farm.
