About Me

After having spent nearly 2 years bacpacking in various parts of the world i am now going through a more stable part of my life journey. I share my journey with my life parter and wife, Jeni. We currently reside in Provo , Utah and work in salt lake city.

ABOUT ME

I am a very adventurous person. I enjoy getting to know people on a deep and personal level. I am always looking deep into life and asking myself and others the hard questions about life in general. I love good conversation and breaking through the superficial barriers that only seem to separate us all.

PHILOSOPHY

Two roads diverged in the woods, and I took the one less traveled.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I genuinely love this concept of couchsurfing. So far along my travels couchsurfing has been the best way to meet locals and get to spend some quality time with really interesting people. I love sharing and hearing travel stories. And im a very neat, clean, and considerate guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive been using couchsurfing for over a year now as i have been backpacking around to different places in the world. i love the personal aspect of getting to know the person who is hosting-visiting.

Interests

I enjoy intellectual/philosophical yet practical conversation. Seeing new places and just experiencing life in new ways (especially regarding the simple things)is what i live for. And when its time to relax i love just going out for a beer, or just staying in and talking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every moment that I discover something new amazes me, especially when I learn something new about myself. I left behind the conventional life of work, school, friends, and family to experience a different way of life. So far it has been an amazing journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am good with my hands and can fix or build most anything. Very mechanically inclined. I can help you with your philosophy homework too, haha.
