CURRENT MISSION

To see and save the world!

ABOUT ME

Gabriel Beck is an adventurous lad who travels frequently for research, work, or merely the pure enjoyment and exhilaration of seeing new things in other countries. He has a love and fascination for European cultures, food, fashion, drink, music, and people in general. He is meticulously clean and well dressed, and he would make an excellent temporary house guest. He tries to keep things interesting and is willing to talk about nearly anything and everything. He also doesn't have a good answer for why he wrote this blurb in third person.

PHILOSOPHY

Speak occasionally, read often, think always, and committ yourself to the process of constant self-evaluation and evolution. God kills us if we get boring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm travelling a lot right now, so unfortunately I won't be back at my home base very often to host; you're more than welcome to try and ask however, maybe we'll get lucky.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in a couple of cities while making a month long road trip across the United States. Those evenings were some of the best of the whole journey, the people who tend to host with this sight are some of the best conversationalists I've come across. I guess it comes with the openess that leads one to let out one's room for free.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I feel like any couchsurfer probably needs to have some sort of literary love affair with Ernst Hemingway, I know I certainly do. Anything by him is my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing atop a parched hill in the Negev desert, I could see Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the Red Sea. It was one of the first moments that truly took my breath away.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're up for a cooking lesson, I'm always down for that. Even when I'm alone in the house, I impersonate Julia Child sometimes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A love of new people with good food and wine (or beer, or cocktails).
