About Me

I'm a 25 year old that just recently graduated from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with a bachelor's degree. I've grown up with a passion for traveling to, learning about, as well as experiencing and exploring new places. My favorite things to do are roadtrips and visiting National Parks as much as I can. I love spending time in nature hiking and looking for wildlife and can often be seen stopping for every little thing that moves.

I'm a really easy-going and down to earth guy and am super polite, considerate, and friendly. I love finding humor in everything and am great at puns and witty humor! By myself, I'm pretty quiet and a bit introverted but I open up really easily with others and enjoy being social as much as I can. I'd also like to consider myself pretty knowledgeable about a variety of things so conversations are always easy to have with me :)
I usually like to skip the small talk and get to actually know someone pretty quickly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because a couple friends have recommended using it and I've been putting off trying it for years during my travels. I'd also love to get to know people from around the world to make meaningful connections and make the world seem like a smaller and more connected place!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to ALL kinds and genres of music and am always looking for new music, so I would love to listen to your favorites and also share some of mine!

If I had to choose a favorite movie it would have to be The Grand Budapest Hotel! Aside from that Forrest Gump and The Prestige are close seconds.

I love the Song of Fire and Ice series and also the Harry Potter series! Although my favorite book of all time would be The Bear Went Over The Mountain by William Kotzwinkle.
