Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly...

I am a fly by the seat of my pants type of guy, and I truly believe that Couch Surfing offers you the best possible way to travel! I have been road-tripping since the day I turned 16. Hosts from couch surfing allow you to experience the culture of the place you are visiting first hand. I am a very adventurous and open-minded traveler. I never visit a place with an agenda because I want to be prepared to experience whatever my destination has to offer. Couch surfing is the most authentic way to visit a new place. Staying with great hosts, you can learn the layers of a destination from the inside out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with 300 wild dolphins in Hawaii!

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to teach those around me to always be themselves, even if others aren't being respectful. Never react to someone's negativity. Stay true to who you are and treat others the way you would like to be treated

As long as I'm meeting new people, I'm always learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a friendly guy that genuinely cares about others! I am not about guidebooks. I don't plan on making a detailed list of all the places to see. I want to learn about what you love about where you live and I will yield your great advice. Local wisdom is better than anything I can read in a guidebook. My mother always told me about generosity, kindness, and the art of reciprocation. I understand that gifts are never required, but a prefer to offer a token of my appreciation! The absolute best thing I can share with you is memories that last forever!
