About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See and experience the world, maybe learn a bit on the way

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going guy from the Pacific Northwest (which is the US capital of going with the flow). Travel is one of my greatest passions. I get restless if I stay in one place without a trip for too long. I love hanging out, seeing new places, meeting new friends, and practicing foreign languages.

PHILOSOPHY

Each day is a new opportunity

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf and eventually host once I settle down for longer than a month. I love being a courteous guest!

Interests

Writing, reading, and traveling are my main interests. I am huge basketball fan, but love sports of all kinds. Beyond that, my favorite part of traveling is getting lost in a new city.
