CURRENT MISSION

TO SURF ALL THE COUCHES!

ABOUT ME

I have lived in the Seatle area my whole life. I went to Seattle Pacific University and got my BA in economics. I'm married to the love of my life and am completely happy. I used to run operations at a mortgage company in Washington state but quit so my wife and I could pursue our dream of traveling the world and volunteering along the way at various places. I currently reside in Athens but hope to take up a temporary residency on your couch or floor (not picky). We love seeing new places and enjoy simply being in wonderment of our surroundings.

PHILOSOPHY

Like I said I enjoy learning what it is like to live someplace - not that I don't enjoy seeing the sites as well but it really interests me to learn about the unique culture economy etc. my wife and I like to travel light , simply, and cheap. We are not picky or seeking luxury, I can have a good time in almost any arrangement and can usually find the brightside of any situation. I realize I am a guest in your house and as such I always seek to be flexible and help out if I can. I will always do my best to make your stay comfy and enjoyable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My wife and I love having people over and demonstrating what hospitality means. We love to use couch surfing to stay in each city we visit. I enjoying visiting new places and hearing about the best places to go and see. If you come to Seattle I'd give you my top lists and hopefully give you a tour if I'm free. In your city I'd hope to hear about your favorite spots and go experience them. If you don't have strong opinions, that is fine too(but I will be sad).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My wife introduced me to couch surfing this year when we traveled to Madrid and Barcelona - our hosts were incredible. I don't know what I would have done otherwise. I got to learn so much about the cities, culture, food, and lifestyle. I want to learn more about what it is like to live somewhere than simply show up take a picture of something famous and leave. Hosting has been great as well. I enjoy having people over and learning about their lives and adventures.
