My name is Arthur Elmer. I am 22 years old and am an avid adventurer looking to for new experiences and learn more about new cultures. I grew up in Minnesota where I have gone to school my whole life. I am currently finishing my studies at the University of Minnesota. I love meeting new people and am open to new experiences. I am very easy going and always have a positive outlook on life. I can adjust to any situation very well and I sleep like a rock so do not need much accommodation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I do not want a cookie cutter experience visiting new places. I want to meet new people and learn more about their culture and not just visit the touristic places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was staying in Spain, my friend and I decided to take a weekend trip to Mallorca (a small island off the coast of Spain). We wanted to see the whole island but did not want to deal with the public Transportation. Instead we rented motorcycles at a local shop. At that point, I have never ridden a motorcycle and was a bit nervous. After a few minutes finally got the hang of it and we took to the roads explored the whole island. Over the course of the weekend we traveled along the whole coastline, seeing the most amazing sites I have ever seen and spent the nights on beaches on the coastline. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had and will never forget that weekend in Mallorca.
