CURRENT MISSION

to teach, to learn, to sleep on your couch...

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 years old. I come from a small farm town in Kansas. I currently live in Kansas City, MO after a 5 year stint in Denver, CO. I went to school for 2 years at KU in Lawrence, KS. Taking a break to figure out what exactly I want to be going to school for and found out that i love traveling. I like making use of my spare time (usually by doing something outdoors). I like to snowboard, ski, camp, hike, eat, drink, listen to music, and enjoy all of the simple pleasures that life has to offer. I met an amazing girl from Bogota, Colombia who has motivated me to begin traveling and learn as much about the rest of the world and other cultures as possible. I consider this the beginning of my journey and can't wait to start traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd like to see as much as I can while I'm young. I have a great family and eventually may end up living around them when I get older and want to have a family of my own. Currently I am on a mission to learn as much as I can about life around the world (even if all I learn is what other people like to eat and drink). I want to meet people from different parts of the world and create lifelong memories and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have hosted 2 people officially, many more unofficially. both experiences turned out in friendships and i still keep in touch with them. i've just recently started traveling so i hope to be on the surfing side of things quite a few times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing has been a great tool, I used it widely in Australia mostly just for meeting people and havin' a chat about the area. I've surfed and hosted now and enjoy 'em both.
