About Me

I am an easy going guy that likes to make new friends and learn about other peoples cultures. I enjoy anything active and outdoors. My favorite things to do are paddle board, bike, hike, and trail run. Things I want to do more of and get better at are surfing and rock climbing.

I also love food! There isn't much I won't at least try. I seem to like just about everything though. I love trying new restaurants and food trucks around town. I also enjoy a night our on the town from time to time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently traveling the world for a year starting. My trip started in Dublin on August 4th, 2019. I would like to couchsurf while I am traveling to get to know people and their culture. I love meeting new people and making meaningful connections.

I hosted a couple people while I was living in Austin and it was an unbelievable experience. I am now visiting them in their home while I travel. Hopefully I can return the favor and host anyone that host me when they come to my hometown.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music is any music live. Movies I've seen 100 times are Braveheart, Gladiator, and 13th Warrior. But I will watch just about anything. Right now I am reading a lot of travel books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-I quit my job, sold everything, and have been traveling for the last 2-3 months. I plan on continuing to travel as much as I can for the next year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy to teach anyone how to paddle board.

I would love to learn to speak Spanish.

I would love to show people around Austin if I am ever there.

I would be happy to cook for anyone hosting me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great company and sharing stories! I am not the greatest cook in the world, but I can manage to make some decent meals.
