I work in the IT world as a consultant but constantly think about my next trip. I love exposing my mind to new cultures, settings, and perspectives that help me to become less rigid in my thoughts. I enjoy photography, especially when traveling and you can find my flickr page here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mattwinklerphotography/. Lately I've been learning Spanish and traveling to countries in Latin America to practice it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm constantly fascinated by the stories I hear from other travelers and greatly appreciative of the knowledge I receive from local guides. I like to make connections with people from all over the world and continue to learn from these people. I enjoy having in-depth conversations about a multitude of subject areas or just having a beer to talk about past travel experiences.
