I NEED to travel as much as I can. I did a study abroad in Germany in 2012 and ever since then I've been wanting to explore our beautiful world. I feel like a better person when I explore and immerse myself in another culture. I give something to them and I get some of theirs in return.

I never really know what to put here....I usually stay off social media so I don't have the "about me" section hammered down.

I grew up in one home and only left when I was 18 right after high school. I stayed in San Jose for the next 12 years and never had time or money, mostly money, to travel. I feel it's now or look too old to be doing it.

I'm currently doing a bucket list of mine. I'm watching an NHL sharks game at every stadium. So for I've been to 8 cities. Even though it's only for a weekend, I try and explore as much as I can in that city.

(HOSTS PLEASE READ) Although I would love to use this site more for somewhere to stay, my travel style wouldn't be best for hosts. I plan on staying out all day and night and that I feel can be rude to some people. If you have suggestions on where to go PLEASE send me a message!

Sorry I would totally accept people at my house but we have no room.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

No better way to meet new people and explore cool cities. I know it takes some time and trust to get references. Here's my facebook profile if you're unsure about me.

Interests

I'm all about the outdoors and not just the woods and camping. I like to explore and try new things. See how I can get my self out of my comfort zone. See the hidden treasures in my own city.

I used to be a avid skater but now I just longboard. It's really relaxing.

I love hockey and all California bay area teams. Once the season starts though there are no other games. GO SHARKS

I wouldn't really call myself a beer enthusiast because I'm not the type to turn down any beer. I do love myself a fresh cold pint of anything. If it tastes good I'll drink it.
