Hi! My name is Andrew, and I'm currently a remote healthcare consultant who is doing some West Coast traveling this summer. I love to travel, do anything outdoors (mainly camp, mountain bike, bike, rock climb, hike), play and listen to music (I, like everyone, play guitar), read, and meet new people! I grew up in the Midwest, so I haven't had the opportunity to explore as much out west as I'd like, so this is my chance! I'm a positive, calm, and unflappable person who's even-keeled and open to new things! I look forward to meeting you in my (or your) travels :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love, love, love to travel and meet new people! I'm on here because I think life is about making amazing connections and that traveling is a great way to do that. Everyone on the planet is here for the same reason: to make the best with what they have. I've been amazed and humbled by the hospitality and friendliness of people across the globe and hope I am also contributing to that effect.
