About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to experience the world one human at a time

ABOUT ME

People would describe me as an honest and genuinely nice person. I am the kind of guy who sneakily does the dishes while people are distracted in conversation. I am also an outgoing adventurous soul, who enjoys exploring new cultures, concepts and experiencing things through others eyes. Some might say that I am mature beyond my years, and others claim that I have the spirit of a child.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By meeting new friends and gifting the spirit of an appreciative traveler! I look forward to creating friendships along my way by being a guest they will hopefully always remember!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Having spent numerous years traveling the world I am an experienced couch surfer who enjoys meeting new faces even in places that I have already been. I love giving back to the people who give me so much by offering me a place to stay and an opportunity to experience their culture through their eyes!

Interests

I am a very active outdoorsy person who's strongest connection is with the water. In particular Surfing steals me the most, but I love waterskiing, kitesurfing, or whatever! I graduated with a degree in cultural anthropology, and love cultural events or insights to ways to better understand where I am. I love hiking, camping, or just anything fun!
