Hi! My name is Danny! I'm currently a student at the University of California, Riverside. I am a very ambitious person with big dreams of traveling the world, exploring cultures, meeting new people, and making the most out of what life gives us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think one of the best parts about traveling is meeting people and making new connections. I want to make new friends, share stories, and live like a local. There is so much out there that isn't written in the tourist guidebooks and I want to find those hidden adventures that are scattered all around the world.

Right now I'm looking for some adventures to do on the weekends in the SoCal area!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- Honestly, I listen to almost all genre's of music! I couldn't choose a favorite! I like anything from rap and hip hop to classical and jazz! However, I do prefer music that tells stories or gives deep meanings.

Movies- Okay, call me crazy, but my favorite movie ever is Ocean's 12. Besides that, I have a great appreciation for films in general. I took two years of film class where I watched and analyzed many modern and classical films. Oh yea, and if it's Oscar season, I usually procrastinate and then binge watch all the nominated films a week before ruining whatever I had planned for that week.
My favorite movies are Children of Men, La Haine, 12 Angry Men, Raiders of the Lost Ark, WALL-E, Lord of War, and there's much more I just can't think of right now!

Books- I love books that really draw you into the world and feel like more than just words on paper. When I read, I love to get fully immersed into the story, leaving the current world around me. My favorite books: The Count of Monte Cristo, The Harry Potter Series, Silo Series, the Da Vinci Code, World War Z, Alex Rider Series, Cherub Series, Jurrasic Park, Metro 2033, The President's Hat, The Martian, Ready Player One, and of course there are more that I can't think of right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo traveled by car on a road trip from Siauliai, Lithuania to Tallinn, Estonia and back again making multiple stops along the way, exploring the countryside, meeting new people, and spending the night in Tallinn with some strangers in a Hostel. I think this is amazing because this was my first-time solo-traveling ever, and this was also my first time in Europe since I was little. I had to really go out of my comfort zone to do this, and I was VERY far away from home!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, my friends don't call me a walking encyclopedia for nothing. I can share many numerous random facts that I have acquired over the years.

I'd love to hear all your wonderful stories and adventures!
