Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Operation World Exploration
ABOUT ME
I am a 37 year old hedonist originally from Utah exploring the world one place at a time. Current location, Seal Beach, CA; after having just spent a year in Huntington Beach, and the 4 years before that in Busan, South Korea! I work the typical M-F working as an industrial specialist overseeing contractors the likes of Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop, etc.
PHILOSOPHY
I work to vacation. I leave everything better than I found it. I'm allergic to drama and wish everyone would just get along and be happy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I/we host visitors from time to time, but not as much lately because of having a smaller place since coming to California. Looking to use someone else's couch for the first time this October when a friend and i travel to Eastern Europe!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I/We have thoroughly enjoyed hosting other surfers, and look forward to seeking out fun places to crash in the future.
Interests
I love sight seeing, architecture, culture-spying, warm water activities like snorkeling and scuba, beach bumming, rock climbing, bowling, dinner shows, and most importantly delicious international food!
