CURRENT MISSION

The world is your ocean, dive in.

ABOUT ME

I am a relaxed, easy going guy who loves to meet people and hear their stories. I enjoy going out and having a good time as well as having a calm night in with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling is the best education one can find. Experiencing new cultures and meeting people from around the world are things people will never forget. I strive to go as many places, meet as many people, and experience as many new things as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am traveling through Europe going between friends' places and couch surfing but I plan to have a couch waiting for those who need one in Portland, OR next September.

Interests

I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, hiking, kayaking, exploring, and drinking good beers accompanied with some good conversation.
