I am a business owner (SEO agency) that is currently living in Barcelona, but I’m originally from Chicago. I love to travel, salsa, bachata, and I love to stay in shape (especially Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai ) so if this is what you like to do, drop me a line!

As a hobby, check out my website carryontravelfitness.com

**Please read “My Home” section carefully before messaging. I will only respond to messages with “Jiu-Jitsu” in the first line.**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted and stayed with Couchsurfers and I have found it to be one of the best ways to travel! I love meeting new people and seeing cities through the eyes of locals. I think hosting is a great way to give back and "pay forward" what others have done for you.

Interests

Sports, hiking, reading, conversation, food, surfing, intellectual conversation, business, history

Music, Movies, and Books

I love pretty much any music. I have a soft spot for Raggaeton, Jazz, and Rap

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to pin point which one... either being at the border with Syria when in Israel in the Golan Heights, climbing Villarrica Volcano in Chile, hitchhiking in Germany, whitewater rafting in Costa Rica, canyoning in Dalat, Vietnam, or riding a Moped from Chiang Mai to Pai for the first time, surviving all 762 turns... well that's what the shirt says! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to meet new people with new perspectives and who just don't give a fuck what the rest of the world things...oh yeah those who like a stiff cocktail and like staying in shape.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories and good times
