I'm a 32 year old career changing guy - looking to find my next adventure in life. Although I loved teaching junior high kids for the last 10 years, I found myself complacent and not LIVING life.

I'm a philanthropist, triathlete, people person, self proclaimed foodie who reads the first few chapters of books but never actually finishing them kinda guy. Love music and local hang outs. Love experiencing things through the perspective of others.

I like to smile - I like to make others smile.

I still say rad and dude. I never caught on to say wicked but I do say hella.. or the G rated version hecca.

Oh - I love to give high fives still

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
