**My schedule changes often, so I prefer last minute requests. Due to the uncertainty of my schedule, I probably won't reply to requests until within a week of the requested date. Also, it is unlikely that I will be able to host on weekends. **

I'm a married 35 year old male from Wisconsin, USA. I have lived in Japan for about seven years. I love learning about culture and history, so I love meeting people from different countries. I love to travel but I don't like making plans. The more plans you make, the less you'll see and experience. Getting lost is my favorite past time! Everyday is an adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If you only read the news you might think that the world is a scary place full of hate. Couch surfing is a place that always reminds of how wonderful humans can be.

Interests

I have a passion for the outdoors. I grew up in a camping family. Camping, hiking, mountain climbing, canoeing, boating, biking, traveling, and enjoying nature are all things I grew up with. Camping is without a doubt the activity that makes me the happiest in this world. I also love sports. Any sport is fun to play but my favorites are ice hockey and snowboarding. Anything that gets me out of the house is something I like.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I feel that I can offer some good conversation and a positive attitude. Life's too short to be negative.

I love traveling with people and sharing wonderful experiences with people, but I also truly love traveling by myself. I am very independent and I will never ask a host to go out of their way for me. I won't make a mess and I won't be noisy.
