CURRENT MISSION

To speak like the Spaniards do...

ABOUT ME

I love American football, red beer (ask me about it sometime), traveling by train, taking boat rides, spending time with family, reading magazines, improving my Spanish, teaching English and some other stuff that I like so much I can't even think of it.

I've traveled quite a bit (Germany, France, Italy, Bulgaria, U.S., Costa Rica, Panama, England, alllllll over Spain, Portugal and some others I can't think of) but still have an always-growing list of destinations I'd like to see.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason. And anything worth doing will initially scare you to death.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've CouchSurfed several times and hosted once, and every experience has been 100 percent wonderful. I met two of my good Spanish friends through CouchSurfing, so I have lots of faith :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met wonderful people and made incredible memories. Wouldn't change a thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. That was a spectacle. I did some pretty ridiculous whitewater rafting in Costa Rica. I'm not sure I'd repeat that escapade if I had the chance, though, considering a guide died in the water a few days later.
