I'm a 30 year old male currently living and working in San Francisco. I grew up in North Carolina (U.S.) and studied business and psychology at Duke University. In 2014, I quit my job in Corporate America to pursue my passions for education and helping other people. I spent a year teaching English in Silistra, Bulgaria where I was first introduced to couchsurfing. After returning to the US, I spent two years in business school in Chicago before heading to SF. My wife and I are loving exploring our new city and all the area has to offer!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I absolutely love traveling. Exposure to new cultures and people has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me. I like that this community encourages travel and fosters learning between people from different backgrounds.

My fiance and I have a comfortable guest room and might be willing to host guests for short stays if it works with our schedules.

Part of what attracts me to couchsurfing is the ability to get to know people local to the areas I visit. I think part of experiencing a new place is trying to understand and learn from the people. An ideal trip for me includes this element in addition to exploring the sites.
