Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to visit new places and meet new people!

If given the option to stay at a 4 star hotel or with a local who knows the area, I would prefer to stay with the local 100% of the time. There is no substitute to experiencing the local culture with someone who is already imbedded in it!

Interests

Anything outdoors (hiking, snowboarding, football, baseball, fishing, Frisbee, bocce, swimming, anything on a boat), hole in the wall restaurants and cafes, craft beers, bars with cheap drinks and good people. I will try just about anything once (not including hard drugs, that’s my one no-go). Most importantly – learning about others and experiencing different cultures and perspectives.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music – country, hip hop, oldies, anything that was meant to be danced to
Movies – Forrest Gump, Catch Me if You Can, Wedding Crashers, Shawshank Redemption
Books – I admittedly pursue very little extra reading outside of what is required for my coursework

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In state baseball playoffs my senior year of high school I hit a home run at a Major League Baseball stadium.
