My name is Nate and I love traveling, learning and experiencing new cultures and people. I studied 5 years in college obtaining a Bachelors in Plant Science in California and now I am studying Arabic for future plans.

I also can't get away from music and playing in bands, listen to my latest EP of Indie rock: https://natevanderhoof.hearnow.com or here https://www.reverbnation.com/natevanderhoof

From what other people have said, I am personable, love getting into deep conversations, only funny when I don't try to be, love music, play guitar well ( think its about average), adventurous but most of all known for my passion for the Life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is a time for work and there is a time for travel. I believe that whoever's path I get the privilege of crossing while in the midst of them both is for a God-given reason. More practically speaking: to save money, meet new people, learn insider's view of the culture, visit cool non-touristy places and to have fun.
