Hi there!
As you probably read my Name is Dave and I am 23 years old. When I was 18 I decided to postpone university to get some life experience and I have been traveling/volunteering/working ever since.
I live to discover new experiences and try new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel that through couch surfing I will be able to find and do things that I would never be able to if I were solely using hostels. More then anything, I want to experience the genuine culture of wherever I go. I crave a unique experience and I think that couch surfing will be the best way to get that.

Interests

Nature, architecture, history, sports, slacklining, religion (any kind), technology, language, culture, FOOD, music, art, ...

I could go on but you get the picture, I love having fun and learning new things. adventure and excitement, discovery and relaxation, challenge and celebration!

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is wide ranging and ever changing. some examples of artists I enjoy,

I am always looking for new music!

I enjoy reading and I bring my E-book wherever I go. Some of my favorite authors include Garth Nix, Orson Scott Card, Naomi Novak, Dean koontz, Lee Child and Leo Tolstoy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If I had to pick just one I would probably go with my skydiving experience. I went up over the Swiss Alps and did a tandem jump, the first of many hopefully!
I can honestly say it was the most incredible experience of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach- chess, card games, ultimate frisbee/how to throw a disc, slacklinging(if I have it with me), some Spanish and French,

Learn- whatever you are willing to teach:)

What I Can Share with Hosts

With anyone who chooses to host me I can share many things. I will share my love of music and my love of new food! I will share stories if you want to hear them and I will partake in any discussion you feel like having.
last but not least I have a strong and urgent desire to help with cleaning dishes! or any other chores you need help with :)
