ABOUT ME
I have lived a lot of places around the U.S. Oklahoma, Florida, Michigan, to Hawaii. I call a lot of places home and a lot of people family.
I backpacked through Europe after getting out of the military in 2010. Now my wife and I are planning our first trip to Europe together in 2016. We are extremely excited to meet new people and experience new cultures together.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
It was my plan, before I found out about CS, to use hotels and hostels while visiting Europe. I still plan on doing the hostel thing, but I would love to meet up with people who know the area. The city, the culture, the night life, all of it.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
There is so much I want to do, and honestly I can't tell if it is ambitious or entirely doable. I have been stationary for so long that it's hard to say what I can and can't do while traveling. That being said there are some definite things I am excited to get to while in Europe.
The jury is still out on the "must do" vacation list, but if anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.
Interests
cycling, movies, bars, tech, auto, weights, ju jitsu, running, psychology.
A wide array of interests, but that's how it usually works. I get fully invested in one area then change easily when something else strikes my fancy. A jack of all trades, master of none, I guess.
