I'm Matthew, I am from South Dakota in the United States. I am spending a gap year touring Europe on my bicycle.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to make my time travelling worth it. I want to meet people, see things, do things I'd never expect. Learn a bit about people and hopefully about myself.

One day, one chance - Ichi-go, ichi-e

教，学，和分享

I can share a conversation over tea, a bike ride, music, cook you a meal, or make bread with you. Passion is contagious and I love to hear what people are interested in.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I am open minded and up for your crazy ideas and spontaneous plans. I got nowhere to be but the present.

I will cook and bake for you, share my time and passion, and will be clean and respectful.
