ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Matt, and I just turned 24. I drive a 1970 Volkswagen Bus and I've lived in California my entire life. I also have an extensive vinyl record collection. I consider myself to be a music connoisseur because I listen to A LOT of music. I also watch a lot of movies and read books. I love art, but I'm a terrible artist. My hobbies include jamming, playing football (soccer), hiking, fishing, camping, snowboarding (when I can find some snow), and drinking beer. My favorite football team is Liverpool FC! I enjoy meeting new people, and I can pretty much get along with anyone. I'm also currently obsessed with space and the cosmos. I'm kind of a geek sometimes. Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, superhero movies, and Settlers of Catan (aka the best board game in the universe) are all included in my geekery (yes, that's a real word).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just finished backpacking through Europe and couchsurfed a few times along the way. The people that hosted me were awesome, and I would love to host others if it works out. My living situation might not permit it at the moment, but hopefully I will be able to host regularly soon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always interested in learning new things. As far as teaching goes, I can play a few different instruments decently, and I could give some great music recommendations. I can also make some mean guacamole!
