I have lived my entire life around Lake Michigan in the US. I work in the banking industry, doing credit risk analysis.

I am very laid back, happy and optimistic. I am very open and honest (nothing is off-limits for discussion). I also tend to be very thorough in my communication style.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I spent several weeks backpacking during June 2019 (Poland, Germany, Switzerland.) That was my first big travel experience and CS was recommended. by a friend.

My current living arrangement is not ideal for hosting (2-bedroom apartment and I have a roommate.) But I can potentially host one or two people.

Musica, film e libri

I am a lover of music, and that love spans all genres. I do not play any instruments well, but I sing with passion. Last year I joined up with a local barbershop choir and I have been having a blast singing with them. I have gone to a lot of concerts, and one of my favorite events I attended was Electric Forest in 2017.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Broke the ice on a local lake so a group of 15 new friends and I could go swimming in the ice water in March 2019. (#WimHof)

Camped at Electric Forest for 5 days for Electric Forest Festival in 2017. (Profile Pic)

Teach: English
- I am not formally certified to teach. However, I have contemplated getting my TEFL on several occasions and teaching English internationally. English is my native language and I have been living in the "Midwest" my entire life. I have also been told by several people that I make a good teacher/mentor.
- If I am home, I often cook as a hobby and feel I do so fairly well.
Learn: Anything! Especially cooking / food / culture related.
