Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world, see new things, meet new people, and EXPERIENCE LIFE!

No fun to be on your death bed and realize you never made it to see other countries...

To learn from others and get a better feel for the local area instead of seeing the normal sights and insides of hotel/hostel rooms.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the Zugspitze in Germany as a wee lad... Then I made it back to climb it as an adult!

Started a business, lost a business..
Love a woman, lost a woman..

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe success in life comes from having consistent successful moments throughout your life. The myth lies in having an ultimate goal that defines your life.

I'm learning trough experience, which is where I spend my time and my money.

If I get to couchsurf with you, then I will share a beer with you. How's that sound? :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Beer, Bread, Experiences, Stories, A helping hand (I'm very handy), An insightful view into American culture.
