About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience and share as much of the world as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am an, adventurer, and enthusiast of things. My little family and I have traveled over seas for a large portion of our lives. We live up a digital nomad lifestyle and try and experience as many places and cultures as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

People are good.
There is always something that can be learned.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whenever I meet other travelers I always recommend them to check out CS. It`s a fantastic community and I am a strong believer in 'the more the merrier'.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a fair amount of couch surfing experience, when I bicycled across America with my friend. We were greeted with open arms by many great people. However, I am new at finding people to stay with over the Internet. Normally I have met people around whatever town I`ve been traveling in. I am eager to give CS a shot.

Interests

I`m interested in a lot of things. I enjoy extreme sports like snowboarding and surfing. I`m also really into soccer, running, camping and cycling. I dig science and always try to learn new languages. I really like learning new things and having lots of change in my life.

  • salsa dancing
  • running
  • music
  • electronic music
  • hiking
  • snowboarding
  • trail running
  • soccer
  • craft beer
  • football (soccer)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like every type of music except for pop. Don`t get me wrong, pop music does a great job at a party, but you won`t find me listing to it on my own. I`ve been going to concerts since I was a little kid, I love live music. Some of my favorites are: Brother Ali, the Foo Fighters, the Flaming Lips, and Flight of the Concords.

Books aren`t really my thing, but when I do read I like a little bit of everything. I`d have to say my favorite genre ıs dystopian. I can also get into some of the popular stuff like: Percy Jackson and The Lord of the Rings.

I like watching movies from time to time but I would rather be doing something social or outdoors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I`ve done was when I rode my bicycle coast to coast across the US. It was the most unreal adventure I`ve ever been on. My friend and I connected with some great folks, and learned a lot about Americans as well as ourselves.

Teach, Learn, Share

I`m by no means an expert, but practice builds experience and I can definitely teach people how to repair their bicycles. Of course I`m always open to sharing the English language with anyone who wants to practice/learn and talk about public health ( i doubt many people besides me want to talk about it )

As for learning...I`d love to learn any bit/piece/segment of any languages you`ve got!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share handy man skills, a chess partner, good stories, laughs, and cute pics of my little ones.
