CURRENT MISSION

Live, love, laugh. I love to travel and meet new people. It's just a beautiful thing to travel without an itinerary and keep an open mind and heart. You can manifest such great things !!!

ABOUT ME

Friends would describe me as a nice, hard-working, fun guy. I'd like to think of myself as a humanitarian. I quite like meeting new people and experiencing new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do love to travel and have crashed at peoples homes but that has been through friends. I just think this is such a great thing and I hope to show people around Chicago and potentially share my home. I do have 2 roommates so beforehand I will just want to meet people and of course check out their profile.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One time while traveling in Central America, I was approached by a person at a hostel in San Jose. He invited me on a trip to the beach where we ran into his friends. We ended up housesitting at a beautiful place near the beach. Now both those people are friends of mine and we are all welcome at one another's homes.

Interests

I like baseball here in the states but of course starting watching futbol (soccer) now that I travel so much. Actually I only started traveling in '06 but I've been going on trips at least once per year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in Guatemala can be so amazing. So far, I have been atop Santa Maria and Tajumulco, among some other hikes. What I realize on these trips is that I much prefer people over things. I have spent a lot of time in Costa Rica, which is stunning. However, the experience in Guatemala is far more personal. A lot of people here don't have much. But what they have they take care of and they really care about one another. It's really inspiring!! Buena Onda!!!!
