Hello my name is Aaron. I was born and have lived in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA my whole life. I was a mechanical engineer until I made the decision to quit my job a travel around the world. Travel and exploration has always intrigued me. I am always wanting to find what is in the unknown, experience culture, and see what all the world has to offer. Unable to do this from behind a desk I made the decision to venture into the world and find out what all is out there. I would really enjoy learning about your home city, country and culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel to learn and share experiences from those who live in the area and develop friendships around the world. I like learning other cultures and the diversity around the world. I have always loved to travel and discover new places. I want to learn about the the best spots and hidden gems that you know from living in the area.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16 years old I traveled to Juarez, Mexico with a group. While there we built a small home for a family's elder grandmother/mother. This experience is what first showed me how life and culture is like in parts of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach my knowledge of the Midwest USA and various National Parks and the outdoors of the USA. My experience of the different countries I have visited so far in my life. I can share stories and tips from my hobbies. While in the USA I back-country backpacked. I also played rugby, American football, track, baseball, and futball (soccer). I just play for fun but I am always looking to talk/play any sport. Although, I don't know much about professional futball leagues.
