I am a big outdoor enthusiast that loves gaining new experiences. I am constantly looking to meet new people, try new foods, learn a new sport, and travel to new places. I truly believe one of the greatest satisfactions in life is exploring the unknown. This philosophy is the driving force behind many of the activities I take part in and many of the decisions I make. This is also one of the major reasons I joined couchsurfing. I consider myself a polite easy going guy and will be more than willing to help out around the house in repayment for the couch. In my free time I try to stay as active as possible by snowboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, camping, and playing various sports with friends. A couple fun facts about me: I am a pole-vaulter and I am pretty darn good at playing the didgeridoo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing first and foremost because of my love of traveling. I greatly enjoy the opportunity to explore new places and people around the world. Particularly, while traveling, I enjoy being able to meet locals and trying to learn as much about their culture as possible. During my previous travels I have stayed mostly at hotels/hostels. While these have been unregrettable experiences, it has seemed difficult at times to genuinely experience the unique culture of my travel destinations. I am hoping that Couchsurfing might provide me with the opportunity to more easily meet locals and learn about their culture.
