Midwestern kid from the fine State on Minnesota. If you never heard of 'Minnesota nice,' I think you get idea once meeting me. Former college athlete and love all sports and physical activities. Music lover and try to catch concerts and shows when I can. Love biking as much as the weather warrants. Nature enthusiast.

2015 my Australian college roommate sarcastically told me to get some culture. So I started my travels in 2016 with studying abroad in SE China and became obsessed with traveling and planning future trips. I also went to visit him in Australia and told his mom what a slob he was.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am not of fan of Resorts, big hotels and most tourist activities. I want the real experience and staying with locals and at hostels I feel that I get a much better opportunity immerse myself in the culture and be around like minded individuals.

Also I love making new friends that I can get to know and possibly visit in the future on other travels or even host.
