Hey all, my name is Chase. Born and raised in Minnesota, now I'm finally chasing my dream of traveling the world and pursuing a racing car driver career. I'm probably the happiest and most positive person you know. I went to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities for a couple years, studied abroad at James Cook University - Townsville and lived in Australia for 6 months, I also lived in Monterey, CA for a year to dive into my racing career. After that I moved to Maui and lived in a tent for 3 months on a WWOOFing farm, then in a minivan for another 2 months.

Currently living in a minivan that I converted into a home. I'm taking some time off and exploring Orlando before starting a new job, which will involve traveling a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because I like the idea of traveling and exploring different cities while getting a true feel for the people in that area. I also feel this is one of the best ways to interact with other like minded people and experience cultures in a very unique, personal level. I'm noticing that Couchsurfing attracts the most free spirits and people with the most interesting backgrounds.

Interests

I love traveling and adventure. I'm an entrepreneur so I can race cars in my free time. I like to cook and try new things, especially food. I am very into eating clean and personal fitness. I love any and all sports. I believe that we need very little in order to be happy. My favorite things to do are trying new foods (especially spicy things and delicious beer/wine), hiking, driving, and going to raves.

Music, Movies, and Books

Above & Beyond, trance in general. Anything upbeat and positive is what I'll usually add to my Spotify playlists, however I enjoy just about every genre. Been really into classical lately, like Stravinsky.

I absolutely love books by Tim Ferriss and his podcast. I mostly read books about personal development and spirituality, however I've just started reading more books about travel.

Sense8, Stranger Things, Planet Earth.
I LOVE movies. I like most genres, especially sci-fi, but I really appreciate quality cinematography and directing in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Maui and lived in a tent for three months at an off grid honey bee sanctuary/farm.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught myself a lot about nutrition and wellness over the past couple years and I love sharing the information with others. I have also begun a journey of personal development a couple years back that has given me a very positive and determined mindset. I love helping other people improve themselves in any and all area. I also am sort of a nerd, so if you have any techy issues I can probably help!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great laughs, stories, dreams, and some of the best scrambled eggs you've ever eaten. Seriously, I'll cook anything. I'll clean and leave your house cleaner than when I arrived :)
