I am an easy going guy, but not afraid of conversation. I love meeting new people and learning about them and their cultures/perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy meeting new and interesting people, especially those that are from cultures that are different from my own. I also desire to see and experience a unique side of each specific place when traveling that often can be difficult to do without a local's help.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is wide in its range. Blues, Jazz, hip-hop, progressive rock, and much more.

Thought provoking and original movies are the best. Way too many to list.

My taste in books is quite random. Books that target specific interests are normally what draw me the most though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left the security of a decent full time job in order to travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach auto mechanics... aside from that I may be able to share a different perspective on things. I am happy to learn new things when they are presented to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kindness, cleanliness, enthusiasm, and just being someone who is happy to spend time with people and learn from them.
