About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the world, trying to see it all and taking whatever life throws at me.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, goofy, and easy going guy who likes to have fun. I have a good sense of humor, and am constantly looking to enjoy a good laugh. I live my life full of passion, and am always down for an adventure. Yet, I can have just as much fun sitting down and talking about life, as I can hitting the bars until the break of dawn.

PHILOSOPHY

Tough to say, it changes all of the time. I believe in truth, love, and the pursuit of happiness!

If you are good to people, they will be good right back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couchsurfing, so unfortunately there isn't much to say about this yet. But I have been traveling for a while and have heard how awesome this concept is and am looking to take advantage of meeting some cool people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, am going to try to change that ASAP. And hope that if/whenever I settle down somewhere, I will be able to host people myself.

Interests

Probably too many to list, but I'll name a few: hiking, camping (anything outdoors really), basketball, football, sports in general, reading, traveling, drinking, music, painting/drawing, cooking, philosophy, swimming, experiencing new things, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am all over the place in this category. Pretty much anything you can think of.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just finished hiking through the Himalayas in Nepal for a month. I have played Division-1 basketball at two different universities in the United States. I have spent time hiking/traveling all across the United States. I have also traveled to China, Mexico, The Philippines, Thailand. I recently volunteered in the Philippines with earthquake/typhoon relief, that was the most rewarding experience to date.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anybody and everybody. There are so many people with their own unique stories, I'd love to learn from them all.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bolivia, Cambodia, China, Costa Rica, Italy, Mexico, Nepal, Nicaragua, Peru, Philippines, Spain, Thailand, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
