Looking for a travel buddy | American | Straight Guy | Spanish |Basic Chinese | Want to learn Georgian, Turkish, and German.

I’m on a quest to find the right university and country for me and right now my answer is Austria.

In order to naturalize and become a dual citizen I’ll need to study or work in the EU for the next 5 years. Wish me luck. I’ll need to master Spanish or French too.

Besides that....I have a wide variety of interests.

I'm a runner, swimmer, rock climber, former soccer player of 12 years, entrepreneur, podcaster, and good networker. I eat gluten and dairy free thanks to past stomach problems (Not Just A Food Preference).

Personality wise I’m honest and direct. I truly love people. I tend to fall in love with foreign cultures, languages, and traditions.

I’m a citizen of the US, but am not a proud supporter of it. I respect though the powerful passport I have as a US citizen.

Fix the world’s immigration systems or hire remote talent anywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Indie music like anything on 94.7 in Portland OR. Currently really into Rosalía, Reggae tone, and Drake.

I’m reading a bit of Brene Brown, Tim Ferris, and business non-fiction.

I like Wes Andersons movies for the color, jokes, and story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned to Salsa dance in Salento, Colombia while working a full-time job. Tim Ferris would have been proud.
