Hi, I’m Gabe! I’m from Salt Lake City, Utah, and I’m usually on this app hoping to connect with Couchsurfing hosts in many places that I only dreamed about visiting until the trip finally happens. I’m a hobbyist photographer who loves capturing natural landscapes and wildlife! I’m also an introverted type who prefers to just be present and enjoy the moment when I’m in a new place. I love connecting and learning from others with more life experience than me. Ask me about my many hobbies and we’ll probably find something in common to bond over!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not only am I trying to responsibly maintain my bank account, but I’m also trying to become a more sociable person by forming friendships with people whom I may never see again!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll listen to any genre of music, but I find myself listening to country, rock, and alternative the most. Some of my favorite artists include Brad Paisley, The Outfield, and Gorillaz.

I'll also watch any genre of movie, but I especially enjoy historical fiction/non-fiction like Inglorious Basterds, Saving Private Ryan, Django, and Forrest Gump.

I'm biased towards non-fiction books, but I'm down for an occasional fiction read. I’m currently re-reading the Picture of Dorian Gray, and the Sympathizer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've rescued wild horseshoe crabs during their breeding season off the Delaware Bay.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my time and energy to help my hosts with tasks if need be, as long as it balances with the goals of my trip!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Viet Nam
