CURRENT MISSION

learn and explore

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly enough guy who enjoys good music and a good conversation. I study English Linguistics, Spanish, and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) in hopes that some day soon I'll travel the world sharing my knowledge with whoever will listen, and learning from every place I go to.

I lov
I think I'm pretty easy going and can get along with just about anyone who has a little bit of CS spirit :)

PHILOSOPHY

Every day above ground is a great one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a new member hoping to begin my involvement in the Couch Surfing community by connecting with people in my travels throughout Spain, Europe, and North Africa in the months to come.

Later I'd like to host when I'm back in the U.S., but I don't know how many requests I'll get. Eau Claire, WI is just not that popular of a place I'm afraid.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Fez, Madrid, Amsterdam, Cadiz, Granada, and Chicago.

Yet to host, but I don't live in a very popular tourist destination, so I don't anticipate a ton of requests.
