Just starting our world tour, new to this and would love any advice or tips

CURRENTLY IN: The Netherlands

My name is Max Hamilton, I grew up in Wheaton, IL outside Chicago and have decided that the life of nomad is the life for me. I plan to see all 7 continents as well as the Arctic circle and different islands and the deep sea. I hope to meet you along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet real people from around the world on our travels and hopefully make lasting connections, I believe that to truly experience and understand a place a local is necessary to show the way :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16 my buddy Harrison and I wanted to get into a New Years party in Chicago but it was 21+, not to be dissuaded, we brought a length of heavy rope from home, and climbed down to the roof of the nightclub from the adjoining building and snuck in. Good times were had by all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm still at the point in my life where I don' t have much to teach, I would much rather learn, however, if someone wants to learn about Physics or Music Theory I would be happy to oblige.
I want to learn anything and everything, from your crocheting trick to how to skydive and literally anything in between.

I can only hope to share my experiences with people and hope they do the same.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Youthful enthusiasm, funny stories, great cooking, company and companionship
