Lucky enough to grow up in Southern California, I spent much of my early life playing sports and going to school but never quite left California. In 2013 I decided to pack up & head over to Europe for 4 weeks of backpacking. Instantly I was hooked! Experiencing wonderful cities around the world and meeting interesting new people is an education you can't get in any school or book. I love watching local sports and trying out all types of adventures with the right friends and acquaintances!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the love of new cultures and experiences that you just can't get anywhere else. AirBnB's are great but you often don't get the value of meeting your hosts in person or getting inside tips on where to go and what to see. Meeting people is perhaps the number 1 reason to travel so why not stay somewhere with great hosts who offer their input on where they live?

Interests

I'm a huge soccer fan and played most of my life but can't these days because of knee surgery. But I love watching games in other countries and meeting other soccer fans around the world.

Where ever I go I'll do my best to stay healthy and fit and am always looking for the next adventure whether it's surfing, rock climbing, or hiking.
