Hi I'm Nate! I'm a goofy but optimistic dude from the Midwest United States. I love to meet people from all over the globe, and not only share my story but listen and learn from everyone around me. I'm just here to learn more about life from the people that live it everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always love a good story, and to be a part of someone else's story is something very special. I love meeting other people, especially if they come from a different part of the globe, and it's those experiences that make life truly great.

Music, Movies, and Books

All music is great, but I do love my alternative rock more than anything. Songs with good beats or smooth guitar fill my playlist. I’m finally branching out into more fiction books and have been digging into the Ender Wiggin saga. Ender’s game is a good place to start if you like mind bending physics and social problems. For movies its Inception and Intersteller all the way! Yes I’m one of those people 😁.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been very privileged in the fact that I've been able to do and experience many things in my life, but I am most proud of my martial arts practice and recovery from two knee surgeries. The two ACL surgeries really set me back physically in my life, but I have been able to overcome both and learn a new skill in Muay Thai. I still can't quite believe what I have been able to accomplish through my practice, but the process has instilled a resilience in me and the feeling that I can overcome any obstacle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share what I've learned over the years. I'm always up for a deep political conversation, or hilarious recount of the night before. I've been able to learn many things over my time on the planet and would love to share anything I've learned.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A really good time with a lot of laughs. I will also try to cook whenever possible!
