Traveling as of September, 2016 for a year.

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and meet new people, expand my horizons and be present each day.

ABOUT ME

An easy going guy enjoying life and looking to experience new aspects of the world.

Spent 2 months in Europe back in 2014, spent June with two friends in a few countries and then traveled July by myself.

Back home I am a bartender and server to earn my keep. Spend a lot of time in my own kitchen, cooking and baking. Most days include a morning at the gym, some relaxation, outings with friends or work in the evening.

PHILOSOPHY

Live to love, love to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling the world, meet new people and experiences! The exchange between people I may have never met otherwise is truly worthwhile and life changing.

I had great experiences back in 2014 at a few hosts' places and loved the connections I made and want to continue to make friends around the globe.

Hoping that in 2017 when I get back home I will have accommodations that will allow me to host, as I truly want to do my part and help others travel.

Interests

When I travel, I spend much of my trip, much like when at home, taking in the cuisine, trying new wine and beer and meeting new people.
Enjoying museums as well as beautiful new sights and scenery to photograph.

Favorite book is Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and currently enjoying Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am currently finishing up the finals months of a year of travel. It has been the best thing I've ever done. I have met amazing people and continue to experience amazing things daily.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach & Share

Enjoy playing in the kitchen, love trying out new recipes and sharing those creations with others.

I am a wine enthusiast so let me grab a bottle to share! I do love a good Chardonnay.

If you have any interest in Photography, I use my DSLR and would happily help someone learn.

Learn

I want to experience culture and the world outside of what I know.
Language fascinates me, though I'm not very good at picking it up.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share part of my trip experience with the host, engaging them about their country that they live in and their experiences there. Share about past travels as well as current. Through interactions, maybe allow me a glimpse into the life in that country and through stories, photos an such give my host a glimpse into my life.

In the least, I would love to offer them a couch back in Seattle, WA, USA.
Would love to have visitors when I can host.
