CURRENT MISSION

Traveling around New Zealand

ABOUT ME

I am from the USA, but I have been traveling and/or working around the globe the last couple of years. I'm just hoping to possibly crash with someone while traveling to new places, while making some new lifelong friends in the process. I am a very laid back, easy to get along with guy. I love meeting new people and sharing life stories. I also cook and don't mind cleaning, so people are usually happy to have me as their house guest!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is only worth living if you make it interesting. For me, being honest, humble, and hard-working is the only way to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hoping to stay on a few couches while traveling, and then hopefully some day return the favor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done it unofficially for years, but I just recently had my first experience through the website and it was really wonderful.

Interests

I love the outdoors, any kind of adventure and travel, and I'm pretty focused on being physically fit. Most of all, I enjoy meeting new and interesting people and making new friends.

• cooking
• traveling
• outdoor activities

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most kinds of music and reading is probably my most time-consuming activity. Currently, I'm enjoying Michael Pollan's books on food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw Machu Picchu last year. That was pretty amazing. I've been competing triathlons for a little over a year too. That's been quite an experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn from others that are more experienced than I, and I am always interested in sharing my own experiences as well.
