About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See as much as possible. I am trying to experience one culture at a time, and find places that I will continue to visit for the rest of my life. I love to travel and see new things, especially secret beaches.

ABOUT ME

I am a fun and outgoing guy. I love learning about different cultures, and experiencing them through their histories, music, and especially their food!
I recently studied at Cambridge University and traveled through Europe, but am looking to broaden my horizons. I'm studying Mandarin in hopes to one day travel and possibly live in Asia.
I love to be by the beach, I enjoy sponging (body boarding), listening to music, walking, shopping, going to parties and clubs, and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

why not?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have met several people through the couchsurfing network while traveling, and they have been a great help. I have yet to host anyone, as all of the inquiries have been bad timing, but I am definitely open to hosting someone in California.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a group of girls in Stockholm who were the most helpful people I have traveled with. They showed me around the city when I was dropped off by myself, taught me how to use the metro, where to eat, where to go out at night, and showed me all around the city. This is something I hope to pass on to travelers in my hometown some day.

Interests

I am very interested in business and investing. I love to research what people buy and what makes them happy, and ways that I can provide something to tahese people without going through a major business.
I also love to exercise, skateboard, sponge, explore forests and outdoor sites, snowboard, and go on adventures and try new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movies are Garden State, anything with Will Ferrell, In Good Company, and too many others to name. My favorite book is Salvador Plascencia's; The People of Paper. Read this if you can!
I love hip hop and rap, mellow rock, and jazz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting dropped off in Barcelona with Wossen in suits, with no place to stay, not knowing the language, and wandering around the streets in mid-summer trying to find our way around.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I am best able to teach you how to have some fun and be yourself. I am very easy to get along with, and through this I learn a lot about myself and other people.
