Hey there. My name is Austin and its a true pleasure that you're reading this right now. I'm an American who decided to book a one way ticket to Europe in order to explore the continent, meet great people and explore employment opportunities to finance my future travels I will venture on. I have worked in IT and served in the U.S. Army for 6 years as well. Life for me an journey where I find myself constantly learning about myself and the rest of the world. I plan to learn alot more while I stay in Europe and look forward to meeting like-minded people so we can have a positive impact on each other's lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I want the opportunity to spend precious time with people I would not have the opportunity to meet on normal circumstances. I have an extroverted personality and have a knack for attracting people and bringing out the positive side of human beings. With that said, I invite you to find out the benefits of meeting wonderful people like myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the U.S. Army I trained over 80 Guatemalan Soldiers in conducting various types of operations in their country in order to make to protect their country from people with malicious intentions. I earned several Awards from the Dpartment of the Army as well as from the Guatemalan Army and a week before my deployment ended the company of soldiers I trained threw me a surprise belated birthday party.

These people barely made any money compared to the American military and yet pitched together to buy food, drinks and the biggest, nicest, most delicious cake I've ever had in my life. That moment made me break down for a minute but I quickly got myself together. However, this experience and my accolades gives testament to how hard I worked in that country and how the Guatamalan people felt about my efforts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always down to learn anything a person is willing to share with me. I love to listen more than talk and that proved to be a valuable trait when I was in college and just when I interact with people. If there's anything you wish to learn from me then let me know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll be more than happy to share food with my hosts and I definitely dont mind doing any kind of work inside the house or outside the house then thats perfectly fine as I'm more than capable. If they have a very specific type of work you need done or would like anything else then let me know and because I'm a very open and up-front person.
