About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live a life full of love, happiness, and meaning

ABOUT ME

I am a chill dude who is very interested in health. I like to read about nutrition and really all topics relating to human health. I write articles about health for a magazine and some websites. I have also written a recipe book full of healthy recipes.

I really like the beach and walking barefoot on sand. I also love to hangout with friends and just chill. Recently I've became interested in cooking and hope to continue to learn new dishes. I love getting lost in good fiction book or watching a good movie.

PHILOSOPHY

Humans are not islands, we need relationships with other humans. Money is a means to an end and should be treated as such.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My girlfriend Kelsey and I are currently traveling all over the world and hope to meet some amazing and interesting people through CouchSurfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with a host family in Madrid, Spain. It was fantastic! Meeting a family from another part of the world was so interesting and enjoyable. I especially liked talking with them about their opinions on certain world events, learning about their favorite dishes, and just spending time with awesome people.

Since then Kelsey and I have couchsurfed in the Canary Islands, Scotland, and France. Quite possibly my favorite part of my travels!
