About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make friends and see the beautiful sites and people of the region

ABOUT ME

So last year i attended the world cup, im an avid fan of soccer. This is when i first found out about couch surfing. While me and my buddies were crashing at train stations, and the random hostels that by the grace of God were still open we ran into some people who just raved about Couch Surfing. Now im teaching in budapest, i hope to participate in this great program. I would like to travel to a lot of places in Eastern Europe, Turkey, Istanbul, Romania, Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia and Greece. People are more then welcome to stay at my place.

PHILOSOPHY

Im pretty open minded. I really like a good conversation over some beer, tea, coffee whatever. I love history and traveling. I like to hear the legends, the myths and the history of the sites i see on my travels. As much as I love the sites, i hope to meet even more interesting people without which the buildings and history are just hollow monuments. I hope to take in as much as I can this year that im teaching in Budapest.

Interests

My interests include soccer, (ive played since i was 5), camping (I go every year to the Sierra Nevadas in California with my family), fishing (Grandpa Kovach taught me everything i know), History, reading (mostly the classics, philosophical or political books, beer, punk music, and learning languages
