I am originally from Los Angeles, I got my undergraduate degree in Texas, and now I am a graduate student getting my masters in Education in St Louis. I enjoy meeting new people, traveling, learning different languages, learning about different cultures, and making new friends. I currently work as a crisis counselor and at OrangeTheory Fitness, which diversifies my life and get to meet a wide variety of people. If you'd like to know more, just ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend recommended it and I am a pretty adventurous guy. Most importantly, I feel like this is a great way to meet local and foreign (to me) people and be pointed in the right direction of "must go" places in their town. Also, this has a "host family" feel compared to staying at hotel and without the hostel feel. And lastly, you get a behind the scenes guide to a town as opposed to the touristy side (if you ask).
