Hey my name is Chad and I'm from the central coast of California. Currently on a journey to learn about sustainability. Headed to Portugal for some workshops this June- Aug. Lookin to get to know some locals and the adventures of their lands of where they live. Always down for a good conversation and a home cooked meal. Let's connect and have a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet more awesome like-minded people in the places I travel to. Lets link up, cook up and laugh it up over a home cooked meal.
