About Me

Hey, I'm an easygoing guy enjoying life and pursuing my dreams. I took my first international trip in 2014, and I've been hooked since. I don't have much money right now, but I also have no obligations and figure now is the perfect time to travel.

I'm an introvert, and meeting new people can be intimidating at first but ultimately so rewarding. I've made some awesome friends traveling, and had conversations and experiences that I never would have back home. I want to continue to better myself, and have a positive affect to those around me.

Traveling has taught me much, not just about the amazing people and places in the world but it has shown me a lot about myself, and how to appreciate the beauty all around me. Every trip has been a learning experience, and I feel I've grown each time, and opened myself to new ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and learn about their lives, experiences and perspectives. I am new to couchsurfing but it seems like a great way to make new friends and experience local culture. I also would like to have some friends to speak Spanish with, as I am currently at a beginner level.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fluent in English and I am learning Spanish, and would love to speak both. I am good with computers and technology, web design. I have some experience with community gardening and sustainable living. I am an advocate of personal liberty, freedom, self discovery, and pursuing honest knowledge. I am open to new ideas and philosophies, and try to live honestly with myself and others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am open to new experiences and to discuss pretty much everything, while I may not always agree I am respectful of others opinions and beliefs and happy to share mine,

I am happy to help out around the house, cleaning, running an errand or anything else you might need help with.
