CURRENT MISSION

All of my best travels were where I had an opportunity to learn about the country from locals and really experience the life in a traditional sense. I'm headed to Switzerland this time with my girlfriend and would love share similar great experiences I've had in the past. I'm really looking forward to meeting you and learning what Switzerland has to offer. *Besides cute houses in the Alps :)

ABOUT ME

I am from Madison, WI and lived there my whole life. I spend all of my vacation time backpacking, going to music festivals, bike camping, hiking, kayak camping you name it! I am a software developer in the United States and run a small E-commerce business on the side.

My true passion is ultimate frisbee which i've been playing religiously for the last 4 years. I'd love to play or show you how!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with an individual in Alaska for a week. We ended up climbing a glacier with other couchsurfers there. It was a great experience that reminded me of a family away from home.

I couch surfed in Seattle as well. Met other tourists couchsurfing while in a coffee shop trying to find a place to stay. Ended up hanging out and traveling as a large group. It was a great time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Unfortunately since I'm from America and we've stolen everyone else's food, so providing you something unique in this area would be difficult.

I can offer great conversation, an activity partner, ultimate frisbee, board game companion and an open mind to absorb any passions you are willing to share with me.
