CURRENT MISSION

to explore, to learn, and to have fun!

ABOUT ME

I'm a student and language instructor who loves learning about and experiencing new cultures, meeting people, and having fun. I've traveled a bit, and cannot wait to travel more. I like all kinds of music but particularly international, electronic, and world. I'm energetic, extremely open-minded, easy-going, and I love to trade stories and share parts of my own culture in exchange for parts of yours. I speak many languages and love learning them. If you are up for meeting someone who loves history and art and can find amusement and humor in almost anything, I'm your guy. Relaxing, partying, talking, walking, it's all good! I also love nature, and am used to roughing it and traveling economically.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love. Be creative, be original, be happy.

...and a recent favorite of mine: "the world is a book, and those that don't travel read only one page".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't offer an extra place to stay at the moment, but I'll have my own appartment soon and will be up for having people come sleep on my couch in a few months! If you are ever in Minneapolis, let me know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Amsterdam, and it was a great experience. Overall, I love the idea of couchsurfing; a way to experience real culture with open-minded people, and a way to save money for further adventures!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to the top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, and the top of the Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro. The former gives one a stunning view above the clouds and into the stratosphere, while the latter provides a beautiful panoramic view of Brazil's most dynamic metropolis and one of the largest cities on earth, nestled between the forest, the favelas, and the sea. Both were a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
