About Me

CURRENT MISSION

working hard, playing hard, and travelling.

ABOUT ME

I Genuinely enjoy the process of learning new things. I like setting goals. I can be a bit "type A" but also know how to relax and "let go" when it is the right time to do so. Really looking to travel more, and learn from people and in-the-moment experiences. Book-learning can't compare to that!

Also if you wish to stay with me, please know that I identify as gay and live with my partner, neither of which should affect your stay in any way, but I like to put it out there so people know. I'm big on honesty.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm banking on humanity to make heaven a place on Earth. I have no doubts! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would be willing to host provided my partner is OK with the situation. I am pretty laid back and I am willing to work out specifics over email. I do think that the more communication I have with a potential surfer, the better there stay will be.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed four times within the United States and had fantastic experiences each time with genuinely kind and interesting people! It only made me want to do it more! I have yet to host anyone, but that will happen soon, I hope!
