Keep an open mind! Look to the future. Science is our most useful tool, thus far. I (we) are relatively new to Couchsurfing but certainly open-minded, courteous and willing to host when we have a setup that allows for it. I am also safe, trustworthy and clean. I do not smoke nor do I have annoying habits. Thank you for considering hosting me and/or my partner Maya. More: I joined the Army at 19 and spent 8-years in Germany, Louisiana and Texas. I then moved back to Ohio where I went to college for business and philosophy. Since then, I have been self-employed and volunteer for a global non-profit organisation that aims to improve the human condition. My partner Maya and I have been together since 2010 and we have a wonderful life together. We seek to travel and learn as much as we can while also contributing towards the improvement of civilisation.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
To have travelling experience while also saving on travel costs. When travelling around the world, it is far better to meet the locals and experience the local culture than stay in a 4 or 5-star hotel. It is the only way to get the full experience of travelling. Meeting new and interesting people is always fun.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Skiing and snowboarding in the Austria where I could overlook Austria and Germany at the same time. Also visiting Salzburg, Austria and the birthplace of Mozart.
