I travel for work alot and when I'm home I love entertaining and meeting new people. Very generous and very extroverted. Friends with all my neighbors and I'm their (go-to-guy) for any and all handyman stuff. Currently back in school pursuing a degree in electrical engineering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems like a fun way to meet fellow travelers. So many random acts of kindness happened to me while I was traveling and hiking in the past so I felt this app would be a good way to give back.
