Hi, I'm currently out of town.

I'm August from Minnesota USA, and I'm a big believer in karma and by putting something unselfishly back into the travelling community, hopefully I'm making the world a better place. I see myself as a small town boy just trying to make ends meet.

My passions involve books, music, happiness and the broadening of life experiences, not only in my field but in all the subjects that interest me ranging from arts, financial management to finding meaning and living a purposeful life.

When the time is right, I would like to travel around the world, meet new people, make friends from all around the world and learn different cultures and languages. I have a bachelor degree in math, i'm currently stuying geology and mining engineering as my purpose of life is to be happy, useful and to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

I hope to have the wonderful chance to meet you, feel free to check my profile

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel all around the world, meet exceptional people, and learn different cultures and languages. I also love books and interchanging views and experiences thrills me the most.

I had an experience so great -with a complete stranger- that in fact it completely changed my outlook on life as it proved to me that the world is full of kind people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most types of music, from classical to rock-pop, regularly investigating a new genre. Right now I've been exploring instrumental and electronic music which I felt was a good mix for my walks outdoors.

Teach, Learn, Share

Offer hospitality to others and treat them as you wish to be treated, hope for the same and do it with no preference.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tell you stories, cook you food, clean your place, share life experiences, become good friends, sing you songs, read you a book, spend good quality time together, drive you to your destination.

In all of my activities I seek to display some unchanging, fundamental qualities like integrity, humility, honest dealing, treating everyone with respect and dignity, striving for mutual amusement.
