CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy and help others Enjoy!

ABOUT ME

So, I'm a laid back and open minded guy that likes to enjoy life, just like everyone else on here! I graduated from university in 2009 and have been working in Spain since then. Living abroad and traveling to new places are easily the best experiences I have had! I really love them! Learning as much as I can about other cultures is one of the most important objectives I have in life. I enjoy meeting new people and conversing about everything! I love going out, but I like having a good conversation over a meal even more!

PHILOSOPHY

If you're not enjoying life, you're doing something wrong!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really enjoy CouchSurfing because it's a great learning experience and it bridges the gaps between different peoples. It's a cultural exchange, which I have always valued in my life and always will!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stepped on an alligator in a swamp in the Everglades once! Talk about being frightened! Luckily the alligator was just afraid of me as I was of it! It took off in the water!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking so I might be able to teach you how to cook a thing or two. I'm still a novice, but surely I can teach you something! Also, I love learning how to cook typical dishes from other cultures so, if you can teach me how to cook something from your region, that would be awesome! Since I'm an English teacher, I can also help you with English.

Countries I’ve Visited
