CURRENT MISSION

Experience Asia with my fiance. I want to learn and hopefully teach about the human experience along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a wanderer and a thinker and a philosopher and a cook and a friend and a scholar and a son and a brother and a traveler and a student and a teacher and a fun-loving individual who loves to share his company with others. I want to learn about other countries and teach (possibly change some opinions) about my own.

PHILOSOPHY

My religion is people and my country is earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have surfed a few times and hosted a bit. I plan on surfing A LOT more in the next year.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing has changed my perspective in a lot of ways. It allowed me to see that there are good people in this world who will open up their homes and minds to fellow humans in need. It made the world seem smaller and travel more attainable and exciting. The CouchSurfing community is one I would like to be apart of for a long time.

Interests

Music, swimming, reading, politics, anything outdoors! I love good conversation. Bicycles have become a recent passion of mine. Movies are always fun. I enjoy good beer, wine and home cooked meals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spent the night sleeping on a sailboat drifting up the Nile, Rode my bike from Jacksonville, Florida to San Francisco, California

Teach, Learn, Share

in my experience, when traveling, it is best to get as far away from the tourist spots as possible. The real people you meet are the people who are just as curious about you as you are about them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lot of knowledge about fermentation including how to make beer, wine, pickles, and sourdough bread
