I grew up in Texas with most of my life in the city but then weekends on a farm. I went to college in Wisconsin and eventually got a job. I am often shy when I first meet people but I don't stay shy for long. I love to travel and especially international travel. I love tasting new and interesting cuisines and meeting new people from different backgrounds than me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I get to do some travel with my work and when in a different country I often try to find all the local places to visit. I like meeting new people and thought this would be a great way to break out of my bubble and explore the world whenever I travel internationally.

Interests

Cooking, running, volleyball, video games, TV, movies, camping, hiking, biking, amateur brewing, anything related to alcohol, and music. Pretty much, if it is an activity I will try it once. If it takes place outside or has to do with drinking I will try it a second time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a kid I once saved my a girl's life when she was being choked by another kid. It may not sound that great but we have been the closest of friends ever since that day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My sense of humor, maybe brewing/cooking tips, and a drink or two. I could also share my knowledge of Texas and electrical engineering.
