About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to spend the rest of my time in Europe by seeing all of the amazing places that have been around since long before the first buildings of America were constructed!

ABOUT ME

Obviously that is a very large question. I recently graduated from a small Liberal Arts college in the United States and I am currently spending a year teaching English and playing American Football in Madrid, Spain. Before coming to Madrid I lived and played in Vejle, Denmark, but before this May I had only been out of the States for about a week and a half. When I look through my pictures I realize how fortunate I have been in everything, but especially in what I have been able to see and do so far in my life, but I have only seen a fraction of what eventually hope to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As of this time I have only been a surfer. I would like to host, but for my time in Madrid I am usually very busy and my roommate (who owns the apartment) is unfortunately not very keen on letting people stay at his place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From my very first couchsurfing experience in Malta until my last one in Vienna I have met some fantastic people and I really believe that it is possible to make travel more enjoyable by learning new people and through them gaining a more intimate knowledge of the places you visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Big Sur on the Western coast of California was one of the most beautiful places/things I have seen in my life (One of my pictures is from here). The Azan in Istanbul is probably one of the most amazing things I have heard because it is so foreign and beautiful. Spending a year in Europe (and winning a Danish National Championship in American Football) is one of the most amazing things I have done.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I am very good with computers and technology so I could help you with problems related to this. I can also help if you want to learn about American Football. I would also like to learn about as many cultures (both current and ancient) as possible, because I am realizing that the more I learn the more I need to learn in order to build an appropriate view of our ever expanding world.
