I love to sing, play guitar, and love music in general. Two of the other major passions in my life are physical fitness and martial arts. I train in two forms of martial arts currently, and go to the gym for weight training at least three times per week. I am currently finishing up a double major in Political Science and Liberal Studies at the University of Cincinnati as well. I live with my wife and our two pugs, and all of us are explorers in our own right!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am embarking on a journey to Europe in hopes of meeting a great number of kindhearted people from different cultures, and I feel that Couchsurfing can help make this goal a reality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Over the course of Christmas break 2014 to New Year's 2015, my wife and I traveled around the entire planet. We were gone for 24 days, and it took 56 hours of total flight time, but it was an amazing journey. We went to Kauai, Tokyo, Bangkok, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and New York City. My favorite location of the trip was Tokyo, which had great food and such a unique and fascinating culture!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to make music with my hosts, or just hang out in general. I also love to have conversations and explore cities. I am pretty laid back and just love to laugh and get to know people.
