CURRENT MISSION

Be healthy. Live in the moment, in the world, and steel my attention span from the onslaught of social media.

ABOUT ME

So far in my life I have found that I am happy when I am learning and traveling. Just experiencing new things and getting used to new cultures and trying new foods really thrills me. I find that it causes me to get healthier, do more active things, and learn more.

I like sharing with people and talking about things. Many times, funny enough, I dont even realize how much I like this and am a bit introverted, but whenever I spend time with people, especially people who share my interests of traveling and learning, generally I am just happier.

I really enjoy cooking, watching movies, sleeping (I sleep way too much I think), talking, playing chess, singing songs, playing guitar, any sport really, I like writing, but im absolute crap at it.

PHILOSOPHY

I havent exactly figured this one out yet. but if I figure it out, ill plaster it all over the internet like a crazy person, and that's a promise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had a couple of people stay at my place in Korea and the US, and I have couchsurfed at a couple of people's places and have found it to be much better than just staying at a hotel or hostel not only because it is cheaper but because of the awesome people I have met. I hope to meet tons more people on this site!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My brother was a couchsurfer long before I was. He actually set me up on my first couch surfing expedition. I was going to a place he had been, and so he just called the guy up who lived there, and asked if I could stay there. It was a great experience, and I met a cool new person.

Since then I have enjoyed meeting lots of people through couchsurfing and although I have a room in my house that I use to Airbnb, I also use it give back to the couchsurfing community

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the camino de santiago three times now. I plan on going back as well, but that is in the distant future. It was a long long long hike across spain to the western city of Santiago de compostella. Its gorgeous and you meet many really cool people on the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching, learning and sharing.
