Hello everyone!
My name is Brady, I am 23 years old and am from the state of Oregon in the United States. In December I graduated from the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire and am now trying decide what to do with myself.
I am a travel addict and am constantly planning foreign travel trips! My current area of interest is South America. Last year I was fortunate enough to work on an environmental project in Bolivia and I just fell in love with the city of La Paz!
I enjoy being in the outdoors, camping, hiking, biking, and swimming are some of my favorite activities. I consider myself to be very easygoing and friendly, and am looking to meet new friends across the globe!
Sports are life for me, I play occasionally, but I love to watch soccer, football, swimming, and basketball!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to hopefully find somewhere to live in a Spanish speaking country within the next 1-2 years! I am also on couchsurfing to meet friends from around the world that share my passion for travel! Couchsurfing also seems like a great way to practice my Spanish and to learn about different ways of life!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a variety of tastes in music, one day I can be on a Beatles binge, the next coldplay, and another day I can be found singing to Juanes, Wisin and Yandel and listening to Cumbia.
Movie wise I am a fan of action, and comedy genres. Saving Private Ryan is one of my all time favorites, I also enjoy classic series such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter.
When I have time for leisure reading I usually pick something history related or something political, I am particularly interested in reading about the second World War.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer after working on an environmental project in La Paz Bolivia I joined together with a coworker of mine and we backpacked throughout Peru and ended in Quito, Ecuador all in a 2.5 week period! The sights were incredible, and the friends made on the trip were even better!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help teach English, as I am currently working on obtaining my certification to teach in a foreign country, I can also help with basic history. I would really like to learn Portuguese. I would also like to learn more about other world cultures. I can share my knowledge of travel, friendliness, and some great outdoor adventures!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not sure what to put here? I have a laptop that I wouldn't mind sharing with a host. I also have an extensive collection of DVD's. I can also cook, so I would like the opportunity to cook for my roommates.
