Hey everyone! After more than five years of traveling around the world I realized that there is no spot that is perfect and instead I would like to be a world citizen and live in many places to truly experience what this amazing life has to offer

I just bought a piece of real estate with an amazing ocean view in Puerto Lopez, Ecuador. In the next couple years I plan to build a small house and have a small tropical dwarf fruit tree food forest.

I had some people camp for a few nights and they left a bunch of trash and used the land as their toilet. If you stay on my land you can use the toilet and shower in the house.

One of the main reasons I bought here is for parque national machalilla which is a ten minute bus ride. This place in my opinion is the nicest beach in Ecuador and has some of the best snorkeling on the Ecuador coast.

Currently I am staying in a house over looking the town of Puerto Lopez but there is only one bed, I can offer camping on my land across the street but since there is only one bed and no couch it makes it hard to accommodate guests.

Looking forward to building something and getting a chance to host and pay back all the amazing couch hosts I have had over the years! Thank you for reading!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel an obligation to travel the world to break the opinions that countries have about other each other. I feel like there are areas in the world that are unsafe to travel to, but that doesn't mean that the same country has no safe areas. Many people hear information from the media that makes them question the safety of traveling to foreign countries, but I believe that you can find good everywhere! Anywhere you can dream to travel you can safely get to, explore and return home in one piece.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am the 1% of people who actually likes every type of music. I feel that every song deserves respect and attention because so much went into the production of it.
My favorite genres of music are Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Reggae, Metal. Show me something new!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a whim I moved to the Island of Oahu in Hawaii with my Brother Jeff Hopkins and stayed for a year! This journey really put my life into perspective and made me realize the things in life that are truly important. Hawaii left me thirsting for more adventure!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a little melody on the guitar or ukulele.

I am a movie fanatic, I love almost every series of movies and am always down to chill out and watch something I've never seen

I want to learn more about other cultures, so if you are from another culture then I'm most likely gonna have a ton of questions for you. Teach me something about your culture and I'll do the same!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would like nothing more to share what I have learned in this life with others so that they may also share what they know with me!
