CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the surrounding neighborhood at home and any chance to quench my travel bug. When abroad, you'll find me juggling a soccer ball in iconic place that represent my travels and exploring the local culture, food, and unexpected adventures.

ABOUT ME

Spent the last five years in Seattle, USA for school after growing up on a small town on the east side of Washington State. And now I'm working as a Mechanical Engineer in Product Development, living in Columbia City, Seattle. I am a clean and tidy person, always trying to help where I can. I'm a bit more of an introvert by nature but have really enjoyed pushing myself to be social, meet others and share experiences with them throughout my travels.

I've traveled for 3 months around Europe juggling the soccer ball in a new exciting place each day, exploring new places, food, culture and atmospheres, while meeting travelers and locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I'm traveling I want to meet locals and get a taste of culture from the inside out, while meeting people. Traveling is not just about the places you see. It's all about the people and the experiences you can share and learn from one another.

Being hosted by some amazing people along my trip, those times being some of the best experiences, tastes of culture, and time spent with new and old friends, it's motivated me to pay those experiences forward when I get home. So experiencing couch surfing will also help me to provide a meaningful experience to others in my home
