Hello fellow travelers and hosts! My name is Doug and I'm currently traveling Europe! I've recently completed studying abroad in Spain through my host institution in the United States and now am traveling for the next few weeks. I love making friends, hiking, and sharing the joys of travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to find accommodation and friends in different parts of England and Scotland as I explore the U.K. for a week!

Interests

• hiking
• harry potter

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all sorts of music and media but when it comes to movies and books I especially like dramas, thrillers, and romance!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm an avid nordic ski racer and am a Wave 1 skier for the American Bikiebeiner Ski Race - the largest ski race in the U.S.A! One time, I skied the entire Birkiebeiner trail back-to-back, a total of 100KM and it took 9 hours!

Teach, Learn, Share

I play guitar, speak a bit of spanish, and have lots of stories from the U.S. to share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I consider myself to be very courteous and respectful of the culture of whoever is hosting me. I just completed my two months studying abroad in Spain and living with a host family and I can say that they feel like family! We get along so well and I love making conversation while helping out with chores around the house.
