Hello! My name is Matt and I am excited to get started with couch surfing. I've surfed with a few friends of mine, and have met some amazing people, and thought it was finally time to create my own page!

A little about myself. I am 23 years old, originally from Rochester NY, have a passion for traveling and venturing into new experiences. I currently work for GIVE Volunteers, an organization that works in communities around the world and focuses on sustainable development through volunteer projects that empower the community and encourages volunteers to become global citizens. I work as a recruiter, graphic designer, and potentially a junior guide for GIVE.

In my life, I've travelled to Tanzania to work on building a school with GIVE, Ecuador with the global student embassy to work on reforestation projects, and have backpacked though Europe with some friends, spending most of my time on an organic farm in Tuscany.

I love culture exchange, sharing ideas with new people and learning about other people's journeys in life.

Looking forward to beginning this couch surfing journey!
