Hi everyone! My name is Zach. I'm just a young guy looking to meet some cool people and have interesting and exciting experiences. I'm fascinated by a lot of things in life and I'm always looking to learn more to expand my knowledge and viewpoint of the world. Love having interesting conversations and getting to know the real side of people. I consider myself a very open and understanding person. I pride myself on being as non-judgmental, conscious and aware as I possibly can be. Mindfulness and conscious living are a big part of my life. I currently work an office job (it's boring so I don't talk about it much). I enjoy yoga and am a certified yoga teacher myself. I love to party and have a good time. Singing and dancing may be my two favorite things in the world. HUGE karaoke fan! I've been an athlete my whole life so I enjoy sports and other physical activity. I enjoy healthy living so I exercise a lot and try my best to eat healthy but I'm not obsessive about it, I still love my pizza and ice cream! Everything in moderation, including moderation ;-). I'm really looking forward to meeting some great people and hope you're willing to meet me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world the right way. I don't want to travel the world in mainstream commercial hotels and resorts. That's not real to me. I want an authentic experience or the places I travel to. I want to get to know people just as much as I want to get to know places. Some of my most profound experiences in life have been when I talk to or meet complete strangers. I also want to do a podcast while I travel the world that focuses on interviewing everyday people from all over the world. I want to show the world that everyone has a interesting story to tell (so if you're interested in being on the show, let me know!).

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music. I get down with all of it! I really like Dave Matthews, The Killers, Mumford & Sons, John Mayer and all that kind of stuff. I like rap, hip hop and R&B. EDM, Tropical House, Downtempo, club music, classic rock, hard rock. If it's a good song, I like!

Same thing with movies. If it's good, I like it. I enjoy comedies, thrillers and movies that are based on true stories. I'm not very picky and I'm not a big critic. I'm a bigger fan of shows than I am movies. Game of Thrones, West World, House of Cards, The Office, Shameless just to name some.

I read a lot of books on health and self improvement. I like Tim Ferriss and all of his books. I read some books on mediation, mindfulness and consciousness. I like listening to podcast more than reading. Joe Rogan Experience, Duncan Trussell Family Hour, Tim Ferriss Show, Common Sense with Dan Carlin, just to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If I had to choose I would have to say how I overcame my childhood and teenage anger issues. It was a huge issue for me growing up and I was able to completely take control and harness my anger through holistic practices like meditation and yoga. There's not much I'm proud of but when I look at my past, I'm pretty proud of myself for that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what this section is for. I'll update later when I figure it out!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know some pretty random interesting facts about improving your mental & physical health due to my countless house of listening to podcast about health. I can show you some yoga and mediation practices. I'm a very helpful person and very physically capable so I can offer up myself to help you move stuff around your home and doing random chores like cleaning!

Countries I’ve Visited
