ABOUT ME

I went to the University of South Florida where I studied Chemical Engineering for 2 semesters and then switched to Civil Engineering because my parents said " Cody you stupid, get a real degree or we don't pay for your college".

PHILOSOPHY

I'm interested in meeting new people and learning about other cultures. Having lived in America for my whole life I have had an easy upbringing away from crime and other hardships of life. I really want to learn how people live who are less fortunate than I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although free accommodation is a plus the exchange of culture and ideas puts free accommodation on the back burner.I believe couchsurfing is about sharing information and making friends in other countries. I want you to share your stories and experiences with me so that I can learn from them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Such a long story, I'll tell you in person if you ask! :)
If you don't put in the effort to write a personal message, why would I put in the effort to host you? :(

Interests

I am a very outdoorsy guy. I used to live on a sailboat and get too enough sun that I’ll probably have skin cancer.
