Hi, my name's Andrew.

I was born in the States, but I left when I was 5 and my heart never really came back.

I've had the good fortune get to see and live in a lot of different places, and each experience has made my life so much richer. I love the process of going to a new place, making friends, learning a new culture, and sometimes even a new language.

Things I'm good at are learning languages, public speaking, and doing business.

Things that inspire me are electronic music, great literature, and the country of Spain.

Things that fascinate me are human psychology and social engineering, magic, and ancient philosophy.

I think our life is just a few short years , and my goal is to fill mine with as many crazy and wonderful experiences I can while I'm here, and leave something valuable for others when I'm gone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, learning new cultures, and broadening my horizons. In all the travels I've done, the best parts have always been moments shared with locals.
