About Me

Fun loving and laid back is how I like to describe myself. I enjoy the outdoors, intellectual conversation, craft beers, and red wine. Army veteran as well. I'm a self-proclaimed sci fi geek. Love Star Trek and lots of other sci fi. I like history and historical places. Love learning about new cultures and experiencing new things.

I have yet to couchsurf, I usually end up in an Airbnb. That said, I'm not here to save money or travel cheaply. I'd love to meet a host that can hang out and explore with me. So far I'm mostly gone to couchsurfing events and hung out with fellow travelers. Which has proven to be pretty awesome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like to visit new places and share experiences with fun enjoyable people. Only locals can give you the real experience of a place.
