I'm a laid back guy, that loves to share experiences with others and I try to have a positive outlook at all times. I enjoy music, I play the drums a little but I enjoy listening to guitar the most. I'm an active person, and I enjoy many outdoor activities. My favorites involve mountains or the ocean. I enjoy connecting with people, learning cultures, history, and architecture while I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first priority is to meet great people from all over the world and to hear their story, hopefully building a connection. Also to see the world from more of a local perspective than a tourist.

Interests

I love being outside, but I've been trapped indoors during the work week for the past 10 years as a mechanical engineer. Finally I decided to take a break to travel with a priority on relationships, experiences, and lifelong memories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in the Philippines with a small school of tuna.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn a more complete perspective of the world, I think this is one of the best educations we can have. I think the most valuable thing I can share is a smile and a positive outlook. I also play a lot of various sports, and would love to teach any of them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation about travels and experiences along with a genuine interest in the story and goals of those around me. Many smiles as well, I'm great at smiling very often. :)
