CURRENT MISSION

To learn about new cultures across the world and eat delicious spicy foods.

ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic person eager to meet people and their cuisine from across the world. My wife and I are easy going and live life day to day. Just take a breather, stress isn't fun.

PHILOSOPHY

Leap and the net will appear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by surfing and passing the couch surfing phenomena around to others. I must admit, I have been out of the surfing scene for awhile and really need to start giving back!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Each CS experience has been great. I cannot wait for my next destination! Each time I couchsurf I meet great people who are always interesting. The cities or regions I surf allow me to immerse myself that much more into the community--finding the richness of cultures and livilhoods that are found in every inch of the world. I feel welcomed and greatful for each experience that all couchsurfers give to me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Open space and exploring the natural world is number one. Really, everyday on the road and at home has an element of amaziness to it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mattea and I enjoy discussing politics, the environment, literature, sports, and social change.
Cooking has to be one of our favorite things to do. Nobody has ever complained and we are always looking for new ideas!
