I'm a very active guy. I spend most of my free time swimming, biking, diving, kayaking, fishing, hunting, hiking, camping or playing sports outside like ultimate or disc golf. I love the outdoors and appreciating the awesome world we live in!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been traveling off and on for the past 5 years. I started in India and China, and loved seeing and participating in the cultural diversity. Also I love trying different foods! ( ; I heard about CouchSurfing a bit late in the game, but even from the first few experiences I had, I was sold! I think CouchSurfers are some of the most friendly people around the planet. I've enjoyed hosting and surfing with people from many places that I've never been or even heard of before, and I'm excited for the world to keep getting smaller! ..If you're requesting to surf with me, tell me your favorite candy or desert!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm actually not real picky about music. I enjoy a variety, but usually only listen to it when other people want to. I enjoy quiet almost just as much.

Too many to list... ..but I'll mention a few...
The Lord of the Rings
Star Wars
The Last Samurai
The Edge of Tomorrow
The Patriot
Braveheart
We Were Soldiers
The Count of Monte Cristo

...I don't read books often, but ever since I was a kid my favorite series was always the Redwall books! ( :

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy deep conversation and philosophy... I am not a very 'religious' person, but I am a serious follower of Jesus, as the Son of God. I have many Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Catholic, Atheist and Agnostic friends, and I very much enjoy asking questions and learning about what other people believe. I don't enjoy arguing, only friendly and sincere discussion. ( :

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences, Conversations, Games, Ideas, Meals, Advice, My ears! (though I'll need those back.. : )

I also firmly believe in leaving a place better than when I got there, so if you need help with cleaning or yard work or whatever, let me know and I'll be glad to pitch in! I definitely won't leave anything for you to clean up!
