CURRENT MISSION

To learn new languages, meet incredible people, and see the coolest of places.

ABOUT ME

I'm just a normal guy, trying to see a bit more of this place we called earth. I enjoy listening to people and hearing their story, whatever it may hold. It's people that make this life interesting, you know?

I'm in France this fall to study, and I absolutely love it. :D

PHILOSOPHY

To quote a friend of mine:
"Don't be a dick."
Basically, that sums it up pretty well.
(Think of it this way: why go out of your way to hurt someone else? Treat people as rational beings who think, feel, hurt, cry, and breathe--much like you yourself. We all aren't all that different.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I'm in France, I started talking to the groups in the cities where I've been living about Language Exchange. Fellow Couchsurfers and I meet up and just talk for a few hours in English or Spanish, in order to practice. This has also helps me a lot with my french. And of course, we end up becoming friends in the process.

So, if you'd like to practice your English or Spanish, message me and I'll help you out in any way I can.
