Hi, Im Michael! I'm somewhat new to the traveling/Couchsurfing scene, but I'm going to be traveling more often now!

Lover of all dogs - I have a little one named Max. He's super fun!

Also enjoy eating and cooking pretty much anything... although I'm still learning!

And I'm a huge Cubs and Bears fan :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My girlfriend and I are backpacking around the world for 8 months starting in November 2017, and we're hoping to meet fellow travelers and couch surfers along the way to share our journey with, and to hopefully meet new friends! I recently decided to quit my job, get rid of most of my stuff and travel with the love of my life! I'm always up for learning new cultures, sharing advice and ideas, and meeting great people along the way!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My travel experiences prior to our current journey consist of trekking in Patagonia, driving the Ring Road of Iceland! I'm also passionate in powerlifting if you're into that kinda stuff 😛 We will be looking to maintain a blog for our travels, and would like to share ideas for that as well if you have any tips!
