Hello, I'm Sean. My first 18 years were pretty standard (at least in my mind) and uneventful. The past 5 years have been the opposite. Between school and work I have gotten to live in the US (of course), Sweden, Kyrgyzstan, and I got to spend a while backpacking through India. Super random and diverse places, I know, but it has been a fun and enriching ride. During this time, I've been back-and-forth between pursuing a Bachelor's in Intercultural Studies (set to finish spring '20) and International Business internships.
In case you're wondering, I try to live as simple, clean, and healthy as possible. I prefer not to smoke, drink or hang around the party scene too much. It's cool if you're into that, but I tend to find my joy elsewhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm just a guy that really appreciates people who are different from myself. I think this is why I have such a travel bug. I believe that there is something to learn from everyone, especially if we are wired quite differently. For this reason, I look forward to meeting anybody and everybody, hearing their story, and learning from their life.
God bless.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel like I have officially met a country once I've been a patient in their hospitals. By this meter, I am officially acquainted with Kyrgyzstan (got a hockey puck to the mouth) and India (good ole c-diff). Amazing stuff, right?
