About Me

I am a college student that found out about couch surfing recently. I just started my travelling adventures and love it. I am a wrestling coach for high school, middle school and kids club. I come from a family of 8 and have 2 cousins from Africa (senegal and gabon) that stay with us. I love good companionship and a better conversation about anything (math, history, art, world news). I try to keep up to date with whay goes on in the world NPR is a God sent! I am really laid back and go with the flow kind of guy but knows how to plant his feet and stick to a plan if need be. I hope to meet so many people through my travels I love exchanging languages, cultural ideas, and most of all food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems like a great way to join a community of travellers! Great networking opportunities and ways to show and get to see different great cities and people! After being on here for a while the events a people I meet on here are awesome and made some good friends via CS.

Interests

I love video games and sports! I am a really open minded person and love trying new things! Recently got into cooking and finding recipes is a new hobby! I love cooking out at a bbq or going on hikes. Board games are the thing in my group of friends, Catan, Munchkins, Pandemic, Game of Thrones board game.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am pretty open with music. I love comedies, action adventures. Netflix binge watching is why I don't have better grades! Currently reading classics to catch up on ones I missed when I was in school such as Frankenstein.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sure what to really say but I was a state champion in rugby in high school and had offers to play in college but decided to study at a university that didn't offer it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great stories and companionship. And I'm not that bad of a cook!
