I am an avid outdoorsman and lover of the mountains. I enjoy skiing, hiking, fishing, hunting, camping and cycling. When I'm not outside, I love spending time with my two younger siblings and dog. In addition, I like practicing the guitar and piano or playing video games on my self-assembled PC. I am passionate, caring, and determined. After being in Madrid for a while, I have found a new joy for exploring the city and taking part of the active nightlife.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am studying abroad in Madrid, Spain until June and I want to take advantage of my time to travel around Spain, Europe, and Northern Africa. After watching a TED Talk from a world traveler that loved using Couchsurfing, I knew that it was the way I wanted to explore the world. Thanks for helping me along my journey!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of Star Wars and Jurassic Park. My favorite book is Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild." As far as music tastes, I like it all. I went through an 80's phase in high school, but I enjoy listening to just about anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Over the past three years, I've climbed 20 of Colorado's 53 peaks over 14,000 feet in elevation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got some fun stories about what it's like growing up in America.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences abroad so far, compared with life back in America. I'm a laid back guy that's easy to get along with, so I can share some quality fun times. I've also got some good knock-knock jokes, if that suits your fancy.
