CURRENT MISSION

Learn about new cultures, beliefs and create new, life long friendships

ABOUT ME

I'm Andras - I grew up in a small town in eastern Washington but then hitch-hiked to Seattle when I was a teenager. I've lived in Portland and spent three years at Fort Knox, KY before meeting my wife and moving back to Seattle to attend college. I've been described as being good with people, so I guess I have a natural knack for the sales industry, which I've worked in most of my life, most recently with wine.

I am a big fan of viticulture and vinticulture. Its my job, my hobby and my passion. I have a giant glass bowel in the living room that will one day be full of corks, each telling the story of an eventful evening.

I've done a lot of traveling around the continent and just recently ventured outside N. America to visit Qatar, Dubai, Mexico and Italy. Someday I would love to do a year long around the world trip and experience all the other great cultures, wine and food that this world has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life one experience to the next.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host travelers in my apt in Seattle. During my early days with couchsurfing I hosted with my wife on our group-profile, Stephanie & Andras. We've since split that profile into two individual accounts but you can read more of my references there.
