About Me

I am a native of a small town in Delaware, USA who recently graduated with an International Relations degree. After graduation I moved to Spain with my girlfriend Kyla Alterman to learn Spanish and experience different cultures. I love meeting new people and learning new things, especially things that broaden my horizons or change my perspective. After living in Spain for a while I hope to work in Internationa

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had my first Couchsurfing experience in December in Tunisia and immediately fell in love with the Couchsurfing community. Taking strangers from other parts of the world into one's home creates such a meaningful and intimate experience that can't be found staying in hostels. I see couchsurfing as an opportunity to experience new places not just as a tourist, but through the eyes of those who live there. I also enjoy very much creating this experience for others when then come to my city.

PLEASE check out my girlfriend/travel partner Kyla Alterman's profile here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/kyla.alterman/references?type=host for our references—I did all of my couchsurfing with her!
