ABOUT ME

Hey Surfers of the world! Wassup! Lovable Larry here- I'm a California native branching out into the big-wide world- and generally describe myself as a sweet, sorta-shy, and ambitious young queer man that likes to explore new places, meet new people, and learn learn learn! I enjoy helping others: from helping out in community gardens, volunteering with various non-profits, and building better communities. Currently I study in a masters program in the Faculty of Environmental Sciences at Czech University of Life Sciences. Its been a great experience living here in Europe :D

I grew up in the small town of Bishop California (close to Yosemite US National Park) , and have lived in all the major cities of California as an academic and community organizer type. I have managed a few major trips (Chicago, Mexico City, DC)- with hopefully more to come!

Recently I've been offered the opportunity to study in the masters program of Landscape Planning at the Czech University of Life Sciences, in the Czech Republic's capital city- Prague. I've scrimped and saved myself a ticket for my first trip to the continent! It's been adventure thus far sure and I'm looking forward to the challenges and experience ahead of me (and hopefully some travel).

Look forward to getting to know ya'll! :D

PHILOSOPHY

I treat others as I would like to be treated. I strive for open communication and acceptance no matter how different you may be. I think we can, and must, learn from one another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm here to learn about you, your culture, and your couch! :D
