I live in the Greatest City on Earth, Las Vegas, Nevada. I worked in flight test data for the last 9 years, last year I left my job to return to University, I am between semesters so I am making the best of my free time and traveling around the globe. Currently I am in Brussels Belgium visiting my sister. I am aiming toward Budapest Hungry currently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I read some books by Rolf Potts, Jon Krakauer, and Tim Ferriss, then I decided to take a 14 months mini retirement, I'm interested in meeting new friends all over the world, I love to hear different stories from new people I meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I painted a model at the world body painting festival in Austria back in the summer of 2012 and I was on a German TV show because of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you how to play black jack, texas hold-em, and how to fly radio controlled airplanes/drones. I went to university for aircraft design so I'm very interested in Finite Element Analysis, Object Oriented Software use, and other nerdy topics involving Airplanes and Physics or math. Also,
I like to practice German, and I am interested in advanced guitar lessons.

What I Can Share with Hosts
