CURRENT MISSION To see every country in the world and memorize the Big Lebowski! ABOUT ME: Follow me: @2shaneztravels Couchsurfing is a big part of my life and although there have been some changes to the organization, there are still great people out there. I've learned so many beautiful lessons...most importantly...the world is GOOD! Surfing: I want to learn about you and your life. I'll play the guitar, you bring your voice. I'm self sufficient, but would love to spend time with you and your friends! I take great pride in being respectful of people's places, cleaning up after myself and being courteous to my hosts. I'm very talkative and outgoing. I can go out with the best, but can also spend a quiet evening at home. I love intelligent conversation and exploring the city by night. I'm most certainly likely to be "Yes Man". Would you like to go the beach? Yes! Would you like to climb that mountain? Yes! Would you like to try this dish? Yes! I'm very respectful, clean, talkative, excitable, and inquisitive. I have a strong desire to learn new things, try new foods and broaden my perspective.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING By not being a typical tourist, planning events, hosting parties and spreading the good word. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Here, there, and everywhere in KC. My roommate and I hosted 200+ surfers over a couple summers. I've been living nomadic since 2015 and still Couchsurfing!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I've jumped off a bridge in Sweden, was featured in a Wal-Mart commercial, made a crop circle, went to a sauna in Finland with 100 naked dudes and caught a donut thrown from Bruce Willis ( It's true, and a great story! )
Teach, Learn, Share
I pride myself in knowing how to say something amusing in every language, such as, "My unicorn is dead!" What can you add? I love creating music! Whether it's guitar or piano or harmonica, if you can sing, let's collaborate! I can teach guitar, magic tricks, juggling and how to say Spongebob's name in every language!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Friendship, late night jam sessions and some fabulous stories.
My Interests
French culture, all things India, baseball, acoustic guitar, meditation, Indian food, stand-up comedy, tennis, skateboarding, summer walks, kebab, backpacking, trains and yoga. While I'm the U.S., I want to visit every ballpark! I love baseball and think a night out at the park is the perfect evening.
