About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I teach English in Spain, and travel when I have money saved! We have one life to live, and I want to experience it to the fullest learning from and journeying with many people along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a single, 26 year old who is not ready to sit behind a desk and wear a suit and tie for the rest of my life. I've been "on my own" since I was 18, and I carry with me some of the best experiences anyone could have. I'm clean, considerate, and excited to meet people where I couch surf. I value people and places, I enjoy my current freedom to travel and learn about life. I have a great family in the US and some of the best friends one could ask for. I'm extroverted, optimistic, willing to serve, willing to help, willing to listen and have fun with anyone willing to pass the time together ... I'm willing to share with anyone things and skills about life that I have learned along the way in exchange from learning about life and trades from you.

PHILOSOPHY

ooooeeee ... "I am who I am" with nothing to hide. no baggage, no smoking, no drugs .. I'm straight-forward. "Keep it real, keep it honest, laugh and have a good time" ... I love most anything food, culture, music and people. I never meet a stranger ... There is good in everything, you just have to possess the attitude to notice it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Helping others have the best experience in the city where I live and answering any questions I can along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haha, not yet! Soon though ...

Interests

A lot of things interest me ... I'm a Christ follower - Jesus is an important part of my life ... then ... outdoor/nature activities (hiking, camping, biking, fishing, climbing), sports (basketball, futbol, running, tennis, cards) beaches, mountains, music, meeting new people, trying new things, experiencing and sharing life. No compromise, no regrets.
