Hi! I'm Chase. I'm 26, from the U.S., and looking to see as much of the world as possible. I'm brand new to couchsurfing, pretty new to traveling abroad in general, but so excited to step out of my comfort zone and try new things! I'm a dog lover, aspiring English teacher, and architecture enthusiast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to couchsurf to meet people from other cultures, learn new things, practice my limited language skills, and get the inside scoop from locals about things to see and do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 96 hours in a tiny Dubai airport after losing my passport.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk to people about where/how they grew up. I'm so interested in the differences and similarities between cultures, and everyone I meet seems to tell me something I've never heard before. I also just finished my tefl certification and am passionate about the English language, and love to practice with people who want to learn.
