Hey! I enjoy travelling, I love meeting new people and making connections, which is why I love couch surfing. I work at a tech startup in Salt Lake City, Utah doing business development. It's pretty exciting!

I'm straight. I feel like Couch Surfing has turned into 'grindr' recently. If you're only interested in hosting me or staying with me for the reason of hooking up, please do both of us a favour and delete this app. This doesn't have anything to do with your orientation, but most of us are not on here for that; we're on here to make meaningful connections with fellow travellers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent 6 weeks backpacking through Europe in 2015. My brother and I stayed with a number of different couch surfing hosts and it honestly made the trip that much better. Staying with a local, who knows the area, makes is so much more enjoyable when exploring the region!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Latvia for two years serving a mission for my church; I loved it. I speak Latvian fluently and Russian pretty well (they're different, despite what you might think).
