About Me

Hey there!
I graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor's in Biology from The Ohio State University. After graduation I moved to Shenzhen, China to teach English to kids. My hobbies include hiking and camping, anything that involves food, watching movies, listening to Mumford and Sons, traveling, and spending time with my family. July 2018 I hope to move to South Korea or Hungary to teach English and continue traveling the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love taking weekend trips to other cities, but because my time is so limited (2-3 days) there's no better way to get to know the city than by staying with a local! I love exchanging travel stories over a cold beer and local meal, all while getting inspired for my next trip! Couchsurfing is a great way to unite world travelers who crave authentic experiences within their budget!

Interests

Traveling: my list is currently at 14 countries
Being outdoors: hiking, swimming, fishing, camping
The arts: going to movies or plays, music (especially Mumford and Sons, John Mayer, etc.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteered in medical clinics on the island of Ometepe, Nicaragua.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to teach my host(s) about the crazy life of an American University graduate who is still trying to figure out life.
I want to learn about other cultures and see new places without having to work with travel agencies and outfitters.
I plan to share my personal experiences and stories from growing up in the USA.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm just a normal, 23 year old guy who loves to meet new people and experience new things! I love listening about what other people have experienced in life - learning about people is so inspiring.
