I'm always looking for the fun in life, I have a good sense of humor most of the time. I've been described as laid back and calm, I'm not much of a strict planner. I'm very open minded and eclectic, I'm into all sorts of things. A lot of nerdy things like computers, science fiction, video games. But I also enjoy anything that involves the outdoors like camping, fishing, hunting, hiking, or just hanging out outside by a fire. I am in love with many different flavors of music, including rock, jazz, funk, and electronic music. I play a little guitar too. I love to travel. I have been to many places around the USA. I can't wait to see the rest of the world! Life is beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel and meet awesome people! I know I will have a much richer experience and learn a ton more about the culture if I can get off the beaten path and meet some locals wherever I am traveling. Couchsurfing seems like a step in the right direction!

I am planning a trip to Europe in August 2016, so I think this will be a perfect way to meet people and experience the culture. I plan on staying in Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, and London, and maybe more!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well at the very least, I can share good times, good laughs, and good company! I will also have a gift for each of my hosts! If you have any ideas of what would make a good gift, let me know! (is there anything you can't get in Europe that I could bring from America?)

I also don't mind helping with chores around the house or yard work! Perhaps I could help with any computer issues (virus removal, optimization) or other IT-related tasks. I could also give some basic guitar lessons if that interests anyone.
