About Me

Currently on break from the trip described below. Rebuilding the Bus, working. I'm living in Tulum, Mexico for a while. I can't host but I'd love to meet up!

----

My girlfriend Emma and I are traveling across the American continents in our 1975 VW Bus. We love adventure and meeting people, but we don't want to do it alone. Our Bus sleeps 4 people and we'd like to share our space with you! The Bus isn't big, but if you are OK with tight spaces, we'd love to have you around. We have a bed in our pop top and another in the back of the bus, you get to choose which one you want :-)
We try to live on the cheap as much as possible and like to meet local people wherever we go. So if you have a driveway we can park in or know a cool place around your area we should visit, let's talk!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is without a doubt the best way to travel, meet people, get to know a city, a country, a culture. I've met so many great people through CS and had so many great experiences, it seems ridiculous to travel without using it.
Equally, it is great to host and have people come visit you from all over the world, being able to give back some of the kindness I received while surfing.

I couchsurfed a couple of times in different parts of the world and it was always awesome. I always am up for helping travelers find a place to crash and a good time. We have the space and are more than willing to share it. And sometimes, of course, I am also in need of a comfy couch and new friends. :-)

Interests

Food, cooking, chilling, games (of pretty much all sorts), traveling, writing, reading, world events, culture and cultural exchange, cats, VW Buses, concerts, programming and informational technology, things that need electricity, languages and language-learning, sailing and boats, the internet and my awesome apartment and roommates.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots of stuff. No discrimination for genre (except horror movies, I hate those).

Teach, Learn, Share

Wherever I go, I want to learn about local culture, see interesting places, all that stuff, I try to do the same for people coming here. I share any skills I can, be it cooking, translating things to/from cool languages, or just how to play a good round of Jumanji (the card game, not the board game ;-) ).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences of travels through the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia, and South America, cooking skills, a listening and conversational skills, good knowledge of computer and electrical stuff, and beer.
