On a 5 month backpacking journey around the world!
I'm a naturally optimistic, friendly, quirky guy and enjoy being part of positive, uplifting atmospheres. I thrive in learning environments where I can immerse myself in a subject or culture, or enthusiastically educate others :)
I have an autoimmune disease I manage with activity, rest and diet. Somedays are easier than others. I cook at home a lot due to my particular diet. With your permission to use the kitchen, I would love to learn what recipes you know or even cook for us! I've been told I have a habit of seasoning meals boldly haha
For the brief time requested, I wouldn't mind picking up a chore or two around the house in return for your hospitality, too ;3
A personal goal of mine is to build new, constructive life-improving habits from observing different cultures and volunteering. Please please please give me any and all recommendations 🙏

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to make positive connections with locals and fellow travellers. I've always heard such incredible reviews about CS and I'm excited to finally be apart of the cause and uphold the good reputation.
I think hostels are cool but I prefer this haha When I get my own place someday I will definitely be host so I'm hoping to learn some cool tips and tricks from my hosts across europe

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I am nothing without music. I always have had music in my life and have very delicate relationships with each genre. I enjoy carefully curating playlists with emojis in my Spotify as a hobby. Various artists speak out to me but I don't have a favorite, I always ebb and flow between new artists and and old that enter my life at just the right moment to help console or challenge me. I should go to more concerts, I don't know why I'm so frugal about them but then profligate about other things!

Books: I buy books, rarely do I read them. I admire those that do. At most I listen to audiobooks. Just finished Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach, and chipping away at Sun Tzu's the Art of War, Robert Greene's The Art of Seduction, and How to Over Trauma and Find Yourself Again by Jessamy Hibberd.
I read and listened to What Happened To You by Bruce Perry and Oprah, Tao Te Ching by Stephen Michaels (this one's on repeat), and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
The 21 irrefutable laws of leadership by John Maxwell, Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, Cosmos and Billions and Billions,
Religious texts like the Bardo Thodol, Bhagavad Gita, Quran, Tanakh, Tripitaka
