I'm a fun and curious dude who enjoys the company of fun, adventurous people. I prefer connecting on a personal level through stories, games, humor, recipes and drinks - simple, but meaningful experiences. I also love exploring cities and what they have to offer, though I'm not huge on tourist attractions. I'll take a more local experience over anything any day!

I'm very easy to get along with and have a very dynamic sense of humor; I never take anything too seriously, which makes it even easier to have a good time with me around. You'd never have to worry about your place becoming a mess when I'm around because I'm a neat freak that tidies and cleans things as I pass through any space.

Funny enough, I'm not great at writing profiles. My company is better experienced than written out, as I have a ton of energy and humor to share with anyone. Don't hesitate to ask me instead!

Oh, and I love to cook and am GREAT at puns.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet some new, genuine people and share unique experiences within the cities I visit. I like to live vicariously through people's stories and travel experiences and what better way to do so than explore it myself or sit down and chat?

I'm new to this site and community, so please forgive me if I miss out certain details or customs when messaging you. I'd love to experience surfing first as I sure as hell would love to give back and host awesome individuals in the near future. I'm not in it for the "free stay" either, but for the personal connections one can make along the way in their travels.

Interests

Design, cooking, tv/movie marathons, music (especially percussions), making new connections and having great, genuine conversations. I also like peanut butter and boxes that fit within boxes.

I enjoy a lot of things (often extremely random), but listing them out isn't exactly one of them.

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock, lounge/jazz, triphop... Open to discovering new music.

I love sci-fi, fantasy, action, horror, and comedy movies and shows. Stuff that doesn't make your brain work too hard to enjoy it. I can binge watch shows like no other.

I have simple tastes but I enjoy a well written book and movie as much as the next person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Related to travel - not too much (yet). I jumped off a bridge a few months ago. I'm going to backpack Asia at the end of January 2015. So this section should be filled up pretty soon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about design. I specialize in User Experience, User Interface, and Brand/Identity Design - I'm a total design geek and can talk about it for hours on end!

I'm a total neat freak, so I can help you clean and organize or redesign spaces (it's a weird offering, I know, but I love cleaning so why not?).

I love experimenting with and exploring new recipes - the best way to learn a new culture is through its food.

I'd love to learn more about humanities, psychology, criminology, cultures, and traveling... I'd just love to hear what stories people have to share, really.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, Recipes, Cooking, Fun and entertainment. A genuine experience and connection.
