Hello!
I'm Daniel, a peaceful guy who loves the outdoors, hiking, skateboarding, sport climbing, cycling and quiet time on the shoreline or in the mountains.

Friends tell me I'm a great listener, even keeled, pleasant, always happy and chill.

I always have a great time just hanging out spending time with people and being part of the family wherever I go. I get along with everybody, and really just love having fun!

Get in touch with me on Instagram: @danthemansk8

I'm from the U.S. and have lived in different places along the west coast my whole life but now I'm traveling the world! Currently in South America for a year or soooo! I love traveling/experiencing different ways of living, and seeing the world with a pack on my back.

(I'm fully covid vaccinated).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a wonderful way to meet people, and get down with the local scene wherever I end up traveling. The idea of staying somewhere in exchange for good conversation, ideas and some shared experiences is a pretty cool thing.

Interests

Anything new! I have interest in the world and growing my understanding of it and in turn myself, I am always up for practicing some slack lining, sport climbing, skateboarding, cycling or yoga, all these things I love!

Also food! I'm always searching for good pizza, fried chicken, burgers and chocolate but really I just love food!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I skateboard 🤷‍♂️, I trekked 5 days to Machu Picchu, I spent 8 years saving money so I could travel Sudamérica for 1 year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing my cooking skills and learning new ones.

I can help with English and am always eager to pick up more Spanish.

I can teach you how to skateboard and talk about it all day! I've been doing that for 15 years and am traveling with mine in South America.

I can teach carpentry and metal working skills, I've had personal and professional experience my whole life and for a hobby I love woodcarving and can show you how to turn a chunk of wood into something beautiful with your hands and the right knife!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to share a meal, tea or coffee, experiences, walk, yoga, watching movies or listening to music.

I love cooking and sharing recipes, I have some damn good recipes for Pizza, chocolate chip cookies, bread, grilled cheese, chicken noodle soup and Pancakes, I love slow roasting big cuts of meat in a oven or slowly smoking over a fire for a few hours 🤤. I would love to cook and share my recipes with you and learn to make the things you enjoy eating!

I'll be happy to help with any chores you have around the house to return you having welcomed me into your home. I'm always able to help, I love washing dishes! :)

I'm clean, quiet, independent and flexible.
I respect everything and all people.
