ABOUT ME

Mike and I are recent graduate from San Francisco State University. I have my Bachelors of Science in Marketing and Mike has Bachelors of Arts in Political Science. We are childhood friends that went to New York together last summer and have decided to go backpacking through Europe this time around. I have been to Europe twice(backpacked solo through europe last summer for 10 weeks) but this is Mikes first time out of the country. We are big fans of our Local Sports Teams(SF giants,SF 49ers, SJ Sharks,SJ Earthquakes, and GS Warriors) and are home-brewers who enjoy a nice world beer. I(Matt) am 25 and Mike is 24 years old. We are awesome guys to meet and you will not be disappointed hosting us. And hey, if you ever go to California you will have a place to stay and friends to visit.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for experiences and friendships. Family and Friends are the most important thing in my life. So i try to make as many new friends as possible and i think Couch Surfing is just another way to make great friendships.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have 2 couches to share with the world. I would love to meet people and make friends so when i have the money to travel I have a place to stay and friends to visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had several different sets of people stay at my house. All experiences were amazing and I'm glad I hosted them. I went to Europe this summer(2012) and stayed with some of the people that surfed at my house. I am happy with the friendships I have made and I hope I stay connected with all these people for a long time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I am very open and enjoy everything. No real bias to a certain genre except I love Reggae and Classic Rock.
Books: Hotel Pastis, Hunger Games, Bourne Identity, Harry Potters, Jurassic Park, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Rum Diary, Kite Runner, and Kitchen Confidential.
Movies: Mostly serious/depressing movies. I really like War movies. I like comedies too. Some of my favorites are: Apocalypse Now, Lost in Translation, Deer Hunter, Enemy at the Gates, Full Metal Jacket, Fight Club, Kill Bills, the Goonies, Into The Wild, Leon the Professional, The Big Lebowski, The Shawshank Redemption, and V for Vendetta just to name a few. For some reason I really enjoy watching war movies even though I am against war.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on an 1100 mile bike ride through Alaska and got to see the Arctic Circle. Also a 10 week solo backpacking trip through Europe in the summer of 2012.
