About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm always up for trying something at least once and I've been fascinated by the size of the world since staring at a globe as a child. I'd like to travel to as much of it as possible and live as many places as I can. I enjoy getting to watch people take in a meaningful experience for the first time. I make money so I can create memories, not buy things. A cup of coffee with a stranger can make them a new friend.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is less about what you accomplish or even see and more about the people you meet and who you are to them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't been very active on CS honestly. During a bike tour I used it as a guest and when I have moved to a new place I've used it to meet people. My wife and I are open to hosting guests though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted in the past and enjoyed it thoroughly! I've never surfed myself but during my bicycle trip I utilized a similar website called warmshowers.org so I understand how incredibly helpful hospitality can be to a traveler. I look forward to hosting and meeting people in the future.
