About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am traveling through Colombia

ABOUT ME

I'm a adventurous guy who loves to try new things and meet new people. I love playing soccer and traveling. I'm currently a entrpreneurship and spanish major at my school in the United States. Both of my majors explain a little about me. Concerning entrepreneurship, after school, my twin brother and I, would like to start our own business; and as for spanish, I love the language and the people and I can't wait to travel to Colombia and practice it.

PHILOSOPHY

I love this qoute:
"Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride, thank you Jesus!
The quote helps me to remember that I don't just want to live comfortably, I want to do something useful with my life, you know something that will be remembered and remain after I'm gone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently traveling in Colombia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend, Ben Chapman has told me some great stories about his couch surfing experiences, and I was excited to get started. I've stayed with some of the coolest people in the world and meet up with some even cooler people while in my home town. Once I get settled and out of the college dorms, I hope to be able to host people as well.
