CURRENT MISSION

The next places I plan to visit are Seattle and Portland.

ABOUT ME

I am a nice guy who enjoys a good conversation especially if that conversation is in German! I graduated with a degree in wildlife conservation and I love plants. I love to hike, and will gladly point out cool birds or plants that I see.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be a day late and a dollar short haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my first time using this site. I am excited to finally use it! I don't host, because I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere. People would never want to travel here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experiences yet, but I'm very eager to have one.

Interests

I am a wildlife conservation major so my interests include birds and plants mostly. I also love to practice speaking German. Hiking is great.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of funny movies and a big sci-fi fan. Gattaca is one of my favorite movies. As far as books go, I've been reading a lot of nature books recently especially by Bernd Heinrich. Once in a while I'll pick up a fantasy book. My music taste can be eclectic, but recently I've been listening to the Arctic Monkeys, the Black Keys, Hozier, and other similar bands.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done quite a few already. Living in Germany for a few months was one of the best times of my life. I also got to live and study in a log cabin out in the middle of the woods during college. Being able to study nature in this setting was amazing. The Florida everglades has some spectacular wildlife! Oslo, Norway is absolutely gorgeous. I just want to experience all of those things again, and keep creating memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting travelers that like to share their experiences while making new ones. Mark Twain said that travel is fatal to prejudice bigotry and narrow-mindedness meaning. If this is true, then we should all be world travelers!
