About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Vivir con passion.

ABOUT ME

Life has been good to me! I've had plenty of chances to travel, which I recognize is not the situation with many people in this world, so I'm thankful that I've had those opportunities. I'm an easy-going guy with a love for good food and travel, usually going hand-in-hand. I especially love eating at non-chain, local restaurants and finding the dives and cultural places. I've done a decent amount of international travel but I've never been outside of the Americas, so I decided to move to Europe. I'm actually in transition right now, starting to travel europe for a bit this summer then moving to scotland for a year of studies.

One of my favorite parts of life is meeting new people. Offer me a conversation and a cup of coffee and you've got a new friend. I've never officially couchsurfed, but I've definitely surfed couches.

PHILOSOPHY

Love will find a way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosted a number of times and regularly met up with couchsurfers in Antigua, Guatemala to show them around and welcome them to my beautiful city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in both Ireland and Germany recently. Loved my time with both of my hosts!

Interests

I love adventure, travel, reading and Spanish! My most recent home was Antigua, Guatemala, which is one of my favorite cities in the world. Additionally, I enjoy good food, conversation and have an unhealthy passion for coffee.
