Overview
About Me
23 year old just trying to live it up and learn everyday. In the words of the great Abraham Lincoln "I'm not here for a long time but I'm here for a good time".
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Love getting the local perspectives and meeting interesting people.
Interests
I love doing anything outdoors whether it's skiing, hiking, camping, sailing or just chillin on the beach.
Passionate about learning, whether it's about other cultures, social psychology, or just random skills (I can now weld...poorly). Kite surfing is next on the list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sky diving at age 12. Bungy jumped two of the top three highest bungies in the world (South Africa, New Zealand) . Eaten unusual foods including cricket, spider, guinea pig, snake, and alligator. Dunked over LeBron James.
...well, maybe not that last one.
Teach, Learn, Share
Boring as it may sound I have worked in investment banking and know a lot about investing.
I do love mentoring and teaching most academic subjects. Teaching my little brother and niece about life and nature are among my favorite things to do.
Besides that I'm not bad at many outdoor sports and even received several scholarships to play American football in university.
Looking to learn: kite surfing, meditation, spirituality, in addition to anything and everything
