About Me

Addicted Traveller. Hoping to meet some cool people. Share amazing experiences. Eat awesome food. And relax with a good book.

I enjoy making new friends as much as I enjoy seeing new places. Taking advantage of my free time now to experience and explore as much of the world as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A chance to get away from the hotel/hostel experience. To learn. To become friends with someone who lives there. Learn about them and the place I'm visiting. Basically to get to know new people and have fun!

Interests

I'm into a lot of different things. In my opinion, part of what makes life great is getting the chance to experience new things with new people. Life is good!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bartending in New York City.
Re-built a 1972 Buick Skylark, classic car.
Scubadove into a shipwreck, volcano, and with 5 meter long manta-reys, at night, in Hawaii.
Taught my sisters and ex-girlfriend how to surf in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
Went skydiving and hangliding.
Went to one of Pablo Escobar's mansions in Colombia.
Went to a Turkish bathhouse in Istanbul.
Was afraid of the dark.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always try to be grateful and positive no matter what life brings. Overall friendly dude. Love my friends and family. And treat my new friends like family. We can talk about life, what makes it great, what bums us out. We can have a great meal. Lots of laughs. We can chill. Or not even see each other. I'm alright with that.
I have an education in business and I am passionate about what makes a good business. So if you have business ideas or questions, want to start your own, I will gladly brainstorm it with you.

Otherwise, I'm flexible and can be many different ways. Depending on my mood. From quiet, chill in the hammock with a book, to a late night beer socializer. For me it is all about balance.
