I'm currently a student in Salt Lake City, UT working on wrapping my Bachelors. I work with adults with cognitive disabilities and have been doing that for some time. I often work weekends and don't take breaks in school, so at least for now there isn't too much time for hobbies. I am learning power lifting though and during the winter I spend every weekend skiing.

I haven't been doing a lot of travel lately and mostly prefer simple weekend warrior kinds of trips to southern Utah. Natural Bridges is my favorite park and I highly recommend that area if you haven't been there yet. I have been pretty privileged with the countries I have been to. I have been to Tibet, Norway, South Africa, Mexico, and Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been a couch surfer once before in Seattle and had a wonderful experience with the gentleman who hosted me at his home. My roommates and I used to host and it was a blast meeting different, awesome, and sometimes strange souls. Never explain the Mormon law of consecration to a Russian just before they visit temple square, lesson learned. I consider couchsurfing to be an invaluable resource in traveling and meeting new people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am more than happy to do chores and will probably take my own initiative to do your dishes or something. An open home is no small offer, guests need to take that shit seriously.
