About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take chances, make mistakes because if you don't you never learn.

ABOUT ME

I am a 24 year old business professional. I don't take life too seriously and am extremely sarcastic. I work during the day and party during the night. Sleep is for the weak. I work for a large pharmaceutical company doing Global Demand Analysis which means I do a lot of travelling to new places.
If I contact you it means that I am in a new city which is most likely yours! Don't be alarmed, I come in peace and in need of someone to share a beverage or some local knowledge with. Since I work for a company they always take care of my lodging, what they don't take care of is the experience of hanging out with a local.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life to the fullest. Over my travels I have learned to not fear the world unknown. I am young and I plan on seeing all of the world that I can before I settle down with a family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been on couchsurfing for 3 years now I guess. I tried using it when I was a student, but failed at actually staying anywhere with someone. I now will use it for meeting people in cities I have never been to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hung out with people from couch surfing in over 3 countries!

Music, Movies, and Books

I spend a lot of time on flights, so I read a lot of fictional books to keep my interest. Lately underground techno/trance and rap have been my music of choice. I don't really watch many movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have technically lived in 4 different countries at the age of 24. I speak to the whole globe on a daily basis. It is normal for me to be on the phone with South America, while writing a note to Africa. On a more personal side, many of my experiences can not be written on this website....

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching is really a frame of mind. What do you want to learn? I have some pretty absurd stories from all over the world. I can tell you what to do and what not to do while traveling.

Cambodia, Canada, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Panama, Thailand, United States
