CURRENT MISSION

Explore and create meaningful relationships! Life is one big adventure that I want to live.

ABOUT ME

I am a 26 year old looking to better myself through different experiences, having fun, and learning from and listening to others! I have found that it is much better to listen with an open mind before speaking.

I consider myself easy going and open to new ideas, but not without questions and intellectual investigation. I love basically anything active or outdoor oriented.

PHILOSOPHY

In whatever you're doing, give it your all. Don't be afraid to fail, and when you do, learn from it and better yourself through that experience. A quote from Rosalynn Carter sums my philosophy up pretty well, I would only add 'don't take yourself too seriously and have fun in life':
"You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk."
-Rosalynn Carter

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, creating new experiences, and living life to the fullest! My wife and I are passionate travelers and love hosting people that we meet or get connected with whenever we can!

Interests

Cultural understanding and learning about people's experiences! I have a degree in econometrics and work in the crypto industry so I love talking about finance, economic freedom, and developmental economics. Plus I’m a passionate traveler and love to learn about new places. In my free time you'll mostly find me traveling, climbing, or riding a motorcycle. I'm also into most art forms; I particularly like music and try to play the keys or drums when I can. Food and good booze is a plus as well! Used to work at breweries and wineries so I'm always down to share a good bottle of wine or some good beer!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all genres of music but I mostly listen to electronic, jazz, and hip hop / R&B (I know its random).
Movies: Anything that is well written! Mostly action adventure stuff.
Books: Old Man's War, The Brothers Karamazov, Neuromancer, Pillars of the Earth, and lots of different non-fiction. I generally love reading.
