Hello, my name is Chad Burns. Im 29 and until recently I lived in Virginia Beach Virginia for 24 of the 29 years of my life. Ive never been outside of the east coast or the United States so I made a plan to travel the world. Worked as hard as I could for a year to save and took the leap, currently 3 months in! I have worked in the restaurant industry for pretty much all of my life, graduated culinary school and recently got into disc golf (if you havent played you should! So much fun!) Fun fact: I have a 4 year old daughter who was born on my birthday. My family means the world to me and I could never do anything like this without them. I love to laugh and enjoy life, meet new people and create great memories. Pictures just arent cutting it anymore and I want experience Everything the world has to offer. Im not a seasoned traveler but Im a quick learner

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Of course for the convenience but i see it as a perfect avenue to meet people who are as excited about life as myself that can share their culture first hand and that i might be able to share some of mine. Im brand new to CouchsurfinG but imagine the connections that are possible and am excited to be involved.

Interests

Disc Golfing has taken over my life! Been playing a couple years and Rented an RV for 2 months to travel around the USA! I love music, a buddy once told me its the language of the soul. Movies of course. Id consider myself a thrill seeker, be it a beautiful view or a heart pounding skydive. It makes you feel alive. I love the restaurant/hospitality business. Making people happy makes me happy and everyone loves food! A goal of mine is to own my own restaurant.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- Everything but country, I dont judge though. Sublime, Incubus, Bob Marley, System of a Down, lil Wayne, The Doors, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Queen, Weezer, EDM… the list could go on… if i dont know the words I can appreciate a good beat

Movies- If it has explosions in it I can almost guarantee Ill enjoy it! Love most super hero movies and if they suck dont worry they will just remake it in 3 years. I can get into a romance under certain circumstances but not my first choice.

Books- It takes a lot to suck me into a book and make me read the whole thing. They just make me go to sleep most of the time. Ive read the Lord of the Rings books a couple times, Freakanomics, Million Little Pieces,
