CURRENT MISSION

Travel, photograph, and meet new people. Life can be too limiting so get out of your comfort zone, see the world, and document your journey through life...

PHILOSOPHY

I can never have enough knowledge and traveling seems the most direct way to better myself. I learn about myself, other people, and locations that a few years ago I could have only dreamed of seeing or experiencing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have been registered for a while but am finally starting to use the site. Hoping to meet people while I’m traveling and also host people and show them around my town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never had a bad experience couchsurfing experience, not on this app but pre app. From being offered a place to stay while sharing drinks at a bar to using friends' family or friends, everyone has been wonderful, welcoming, and are now people I call friends.

Interests

Mountain Biking and kayaking are two of my favorite things to do when I'm not on my motorcycle.

I enjoy skiing, working on cars, motorcycles, and woodworking.

Travel and meeting new people/ experiencing new cultures is the greatest life experience which is only had by keeping an open mind. I think this is what CS embodies at its core. BUILD YOUR GLOBAL NETWORK!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a student in New Zealand during the 2011 earthquakes in Christchurch is by far the best experience I have had thus far. It showed me how resilient people can be and the generosity of communities.

Visiting Cuba and seeing the country and the people was incredible and I plan to go back later this year.
