Howdy!
Jonathan here. I try to surround myself with funny people. It makes life a lot easier to lead. I consider myself a jack of all trades, but a master of none. Haven't done much worldly travels, but I've traveled to 39 states in the US so that's something. I'm a very tidy person, and am very versatile. I don't need much to be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One day I realized I was in the black hole that is an incredibly boring job, so I quickly bought a plane ticket to Colombia, then quit said job and started traveling. The main reason I travel is to learn of each country´s cultures and of the lives of the people who call it home. It's nice to meet people from many parts of the world in hostels, but it would be more pleasurable to meet people who live in each city day-to-day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm great with English. I have a background in cooking and sales. I can give you some good southern recipes too; filled with butter and seafood, it's impossible not to love it. I've had many great stories from traveling the U.S. that I can share also.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversations about most things. There are few things in the world I'm not interested by; the taste of cucumbers, the tomato fruit/vegetable debate, the smell of feet, just to name a few.
