I'm a calm, peaceful, fun, often spaced-out American (Kansas city) living in Barcelona. I've lived here since 2012 with my wife (Catalonian) and I work as a primary school teacher. I'm involved in social change in my community, do screen printing a lot lately but other arts as well. I like exploring nature, biking and hiking, but also socializing and going out for a few beers. I love traveling and experiencing new cultures and places especially when it's through a locals point of view. Anytime people come to Barcelona we always host them and ,over to take them out and show them the (unconventional) sights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of sharing the things I have with other people, practicing a life of solidarity and cooperation that exists outside of capitalism.
