Hi, my name is Mac, and I am traveling Europe this year through a combination of Work Away and Couch Surfing. I am a relaxed, guy with a good sense of humor. I have been described as having golden retriever energy.

I like to play guitar, have drinks with friends, hike, run, rock climb, and be in nature. I tend to go with the flow.

I believe most people are inherently good, and that helps me make friends everywhere I go.

While I travel I am working on some entrepreneurial ideas of mine as well as improving my Spanish and my guitar.

Other interesting points: I have been trying to learn to balance on a ball and I am getting very good, at the time of writing this I am on a horse farm in Spain, I learned to ride a horse last week, I learned I am afraid of birds (specifically chickens and turkeys).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- Meet amazing people and make new friends
- Locals know best about their town
- build a community that supports affordable traveling
- Share my knowledge and city with other travelers to improve their experience

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering in Ethiopia was some of the most rewarding work I have done. I spent time at an HIV orphanage, a local school and a burn unit that specialized in child care.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to play guitar, I am learning how to use no-code app building tools, I can teach you how to balance on a ball but it is mostly just practice and honstly its not the most useful skill.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook and if you happen to need some handy work done I'll gladly help out.
