Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am on Couchsurfing because I love to travel and I think this will be a great way to meet new local people everywhere that I go. I think that couch surfing would be a great way to see Europe for a different perspective.
Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to all types of music from classical to rock and roll to techno. My favorite band since I was a kid is Jethro Tull but I’m more recent times I listen to a lot more house music and other electronic genres. I watch a lot of movies of all kinds. Favorite movies are probably Big Fish and American Beauty. I also love anything Pixar
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The most amazing trip that I have been on so far was a 30 day backpacking trip through the Alaskan wilderness. It was a life changing experience that gave me a new appreciation for nature and help me to gain great outdoors skills.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can make my best attempt at teaching English and I can teach surfing skating Slackline and a lot of things regarding nature through my experiences. I am always looking to learn from people whatever it may be about. I would love to learn more about whatever country I’m staying in and learning as much of that language as I can.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can share my knowledge, humor and stories of my life experiences as well as whatever food or drinks my host would like
