I am passionate about travel, music, books, learning new things, and sharing my life experiences with others.

I want to set foot on every continent before I die. Honestly, I want to live before I die. That is why I joined Couchsurfing, in order to meet new people and learn the cultures of the world first hand from people who live in the countries I visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing offers more than just a place to stay. It allows you to meet new people wherever you go and learn about the cities and countries from the locals who call it home.

Interests

I love to hike, kayak, swim, camp, backpack to new unexplored reaches of this planet. I love astronomy and the stars. I love the water. And I absolutely love to learn new things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to Teach
I love to Learn and I am willing to learn and do anything once!

Sharing is something that I am adamant about. Couchsurfers share their home with others to pay it forward, to offer a piece of themselves to the world, to share their life experience and to learn the life experience of others. It will help make a better world for all of us someday; sharing and paying it forward.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a Vegan cook. I eat very healthy and live a lifestyle that is extremely healthy for me. I love Yoga and all of the benefits it has on the body. I love gardening, and the benefits it offers. I am a very tidy and clean person that isn't afraid to get in the mud and get his hands dirty. I love discussing things that interest me and the host. Not big on board games unless they are with a group and are fun! :D Cards against Humanity is awesome and so is Yahtzee!
