About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get myself into trouble and meet some cool people along the way

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 years old now, I've spent the last year or so setting my life up so that I can travel and still get paid enough to live.

I like to think I am a nice person, I can be sarcastic if I get to know you and feel comfortable. At the beginning though I can be a bit shy. In addition to my normal job I like to spend my time doing martial arts (MMA). I just recently opened a gym with a partner from the UK. I have been doing this for the past 4 years or so and I have fought in two professional mixed martial arts fights (just for fun). I've never been in a fight outside of a ring or cage which I feel is a testament to my passiveness. I'm very easy to get a long with and almost impossible to upset.

PHILOSOPHY

whoever loves money, never has money enough

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I doubt anyone would want to stay in my area to tour, I'm completely willing to let anyone sleep on my couches. I'm fortunate enough to have a house that I can allow people to use for the first time in my life.

I'm hoping to begin by traveling and meeting people and making friends internationally. I guess what started my interest in this is some of the traveling I've done for my job to China. I made friends with some of my Chinese co-workers and learning about their life and becoming friends with them has become one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I hope to continue this through this website.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on many couches and had many people sleep on my couches. I love getting to know people even if its just over a few conversations. I always have good experiences couchsurfing, I think everyone just has a good attitude and its difficult to find someone that I don't connect with in some way.
