CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and to meet new people and cultures :) I want to be able to go to any continent or country and always have a friend!

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing and friendly guy who wants nothing more than to just do what I love and enjoy the small things! Currently, I am a student studying international relations with two minors in Arabic and Russian. I've grown to love the international sphere from politics, business, arts, and humanities. One day I hope to work as a foreign affairs officer with the State Department of the United States. However, until then, I intend on enjoying my youth as impulsively ans as recklessly as possible! Travel is my bane, my love, my addiction, and likely, my downfall. I have traveled to almost 50 different countries and about 12 States of the United States. When I'm not planning my next trip I enjoy working on my hobby farm, in which I have everything from pigs, goats, emus, and chickens (and more!). I love a good book and I have a small obsession to any video game that involves obliterating zombies :) I have been told that I have a off-color sense of humor that is often times far larger than it should ever be!

PHILOSOPHY

People are people. They want nothing more than that little slice of life that will make them happy and everyone has the right to pursue that little slice; no matter how big or how small. Everything else are just subtle details.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although hosting other travelers has been difficult due to my location, I still try to host as much as possible! However, I tend to participate more by being hosted and traveling as an unofficial ambassador of the United States :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So many.... so many... All were incredible, however!

Interests

Anything outdoors (although school has taken much of that away from me), Powerlifting and Strongman, reading, MUSIC (I played cello in the symphony for years and I am a HUGE metal fan! OPETH, MESHUGGAH, YOB, KATATONIA, PORCUPINE TREE, you name it!), travel, animals, a new experience, friends (current and future), food, and a good challenge!
