Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see the natural wonders of the world that are most often overlooked
ABOUT ME
I am a open-minded, fun spirited and always trying to meet new people. Nature and the environment are my passion. I tend to think natural wonders are the one thing you cannot buy, but only feel and experience firsthand. I am a Economist and aspiring Pilot. I love the beach, from surfing to searching for washed up sea glass. In the summer I spend my free time sailing, skinny dipping, fishing, and catching sun rays. Animals are awesome to encounter on my travels as it reminds me of my fox terrier at home. I enjoy socializing and immersing myself in a new culture. Respect and courtesy are always top priorities. I tend to have many funny/bizarre stories to share with people because I'm spontaneous and a bit silly. I like getting outside of my comfort zone and find people to be fascinating. Most days I can't stop smiling.
PHILOSOPHY
You can know someone for a lifetime and not know them at all or you can meet someone for a day and know them for a lifetime
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
In the past I have hosted a diversity of travelers in my flat when I was living in Amsterdam. I tried to use couchsurfing with my girlfriend when we traveled Europe, but instead we just met up with some amazing folks that showed us the local areas. Always looking to give back in my own way what others have shown me
