About Me

"Hey fellow travelers! I'm a 39-year-old guy, pretty settled in my career, but always looking for new adventures. I've got a good mix of life experience under my belt, and I'm at that point where I appreciate good company and interesting conversations. When I'm not working, I'm probably catching a game, trying out a new hiking trail, or geeking out with some tech. I'm married, with a kid, so I understand the balance of a busy life. I'm keen to meet new people, share stories, and maybe even swap travel tips. I'm respectful, clean, and always up for a good laugh. Looking forward to connecting!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Back during the pioneer badges and reputation of Couchsurfing, I used this to network for references in my research on subaltern niches.

Music, Movies, and Books

60-80s SoftRock and electronic (I like sci-fi music from movies: open cut and end cut)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw a pack of Timber wolves (3) with my friends when I was around 8 years old, they had been recently released into the Yellowstone area; they were tracking a Moose that had come down into the Snake river valley.

My corner of the world and my neighborhood was where wildlife would often go.

Teach, Learn, Share

American food classics, cake, and icecream

What I Can Share with Hosts

"As a host or guest, I'm all about creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I can offer:
* Good Conversation: I've got a wide range of interests and love discussing everything from current events to travel experiences.
* Local Insights: Depending on where I am, I'm happy to share tips on hidden gems, great local food, and the best ways to experience the area.
* A Helping Hand: Whether it's navigating public transport, figuring out a local dish, or just needing a hand with something, I'm happy to pitch in.
* Respectful Company: I value clear communication and respect for different cultures and lifestyles.
* Stories and experiences: I have been to a few places, and have a lot of stories to tell.
I'm also open to learning from others and experiencing new things. Whether it's sharing a meal, exploring a new city, or just having a chat, I'm looking forward to connecting with fellow travelers."
