I write research reports about economics and the stock market. Most of the people who have this job are stuck in a stuffy office, but I work remotely and I can travel anywhere. Before I had this job I was a day laborer on a farm and I did not get many opportunities to travel, so I'm making up for lost time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can afford to stay in hotels but I prefer to make friends while I'm on the road. I usually couchsurf with close friends, but there are some places I want to see where I haven't made any friends yet.

Interests

Blues dancing or Ballroom dancing. Video games or board games. Hiking.

I'm willing to try almost anything once.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music but I prefer anything with a slow and smooth sound.

I'll also watch any movie, but I prefer the type that makes you think or has a surprise ending. Some of my favorite movies are Goodwill Hunting, Gattaca, Gladiator, Wolverine, Click, and Princess Mononoke.

For books, I only read non-fiction. History is by far my favorite subject.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I happened to be in Germany during the World Cup and in Paris on French Independence day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can pay for food while I am in town. I drive a minivan, so I can also offer free transportation if it's more convenient than the public transit system.

Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In
