I'm a social, fun-loving guy. I love good food, good drinks, and getting to know other fun-loving people. I play the guitar (albeit poorly) and sing and can rarely remember the lyrics. I love travel but would like to do it more often. I have a lot of friends but don't believe you can ever have too many. I also enjoy sports while my body tells me I should be participating much more often. I get along with just about every type of personality. I'm currently studying Web/Software Development

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm flying to Europe in April but I've never been. I could stay in hostels but would rather stay with people who will know the local culture, language, food, things to do and places to go etc. I am also planning on travelling for 5 or 6 months, so while I'm not broke, stretching my dollars will be important. Also, I'm a social person and I'm traveling alone. so an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends on my journey would be great.

Interests

I've been a bartender for a number of years, so I'm always interested in local traditions and what is popular in differing areas and cultures I visit. I like to cook, though I never have professionally, and eat and I like trying new things and different ways of doing things. I'm also kind of a sucker for aesthetic beauty, whether it's the architecture of the city, or lakes, rivers, mountains, beaches, etc. If I'm around good people, with good food, drinks, and music, I'm happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived in 10 US states, been to all of them but Alaska, and spent about one cumulative year of my life outside the US.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I consistently have a positive attitude. I'm a native American English speaker if someone wants to learn or practice. I'm more than willing to pick things up from the market the household may want or need. I'm also willing to cook or make cocktails if desired.
