I'm a caring and friendly guy in pursuit of new friends, knowledge, and experiences. I had a happy, simple, and sporty childhood in the Midwest, but I was fortunate enough to travel internationally in the summers which opened my eyes to the world at a young age.

Subsequently, I went to university in Switzerland, then moved to San Francisco, where I've been since 2009. I may work in Silicon Valley, but I like to go off the grid as much as possible. I spend a lot of time skiing in Lake Tahoe, exploring the wonders of California, and traveling abroad as much as possible. I prefer to be in dense cities or the middle of nowhere, but not in between.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to surf and host as must as possible. Some day I will get around to circumnavigating the world, staying exclusively with couchsurfing members!
