I grew up in a small town in America but have loved traveling my entire life. I met my wife in Chinese class at university, we were both trying to learn Chinese to travel and work there one day. I've worked all sorts of jobs; waiting tables, camp counselor, teaching, bus driving, and retail buying. Recently my wife and I quite our jobs to travel the world and hopefully buy a sailboat and sail around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couch surf because I think it is the only true way to travel and experience the world. I love meeting people from diverse backgrounds and hearing their stories and sharing my own. Why would anyone want to stay in a hotel when you can stay in an actual home?
