CURRENT MISSION

To meet interesting people, discover new cities, learn something new, and make lifelong friends with other couchsurfers.

NOTE:
Two things you should know about me:

1. I am straight and I have a girlfriend.
If you are gay, I have nothing against you, but please don’t ask me to share a bed with you or anything like that. I use Couchsurfing as a way to meet new people, but not as a dating site.

2. I do not drink alcohol.
I have no problem if you want to drink while staying in my home, or while I am with you, I simply choose not to do so myself. Please do not be offended if I turn down any offer for alcohol. I'll take a water instead :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people around the world.

To make lasting friendships.

To have adventures even while I'm a poor college student and I can't afford expensive hotels.

To learn more about the world, other countries, cultures, languages, people, and histories of the amazing cities that I get to visit.

Interests

Card games, The Outdoors, Music, Swing dance, Languages, history

I play the guitar, the ukulele, the piano, and the trombone.

I have hitchhiked all over the United States, and parts of Canada.

I am fascinated by history, and I will LOVE you if you are able to show me the interesting historical areas of your city. (Or at least point me in the right direction if you are not able to come along)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In July of 2017 I went to Pamplona Spain and ran in the running of the bulls during the San Fermin festival.

Teach, Learn, Share

I a Linguistics student at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. I became fluent in Spanish by living in Central America for 13 months. I'm trying to learn more language every day. I am slowly learning Esperanto and French, and I want to learn even more!

I teach Spanish, and English, and I also teach guitar and ukulele private lessons. I love helping people learn these skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very musically talented. I would be happy to play for you or give some music lessons while I stay.
