CURRENT MISSION

Achieve gains from interpersonal trade

I recently moved from Chicago to the Bay Area, California. After 2+ years of the covid pandemic, I finally quit my job and I'm ready to travel again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed extensively as a student, now I'd like to host and hopefully go on some more long trips in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Beyond excellent, can't see why anyone would want to stay in a hostel when travelling. Surfed as much as possible when studying abroad and wish I could have done it more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge science fiction fan, and I listen to all things heavy metal (but I try to keep an open mind).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitched a ride onto the ferry from Dunkerque to Dover with two Romanian men. Got some weird looks from the customs officers, but it was all worth it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I'm travelling I'm willing to try anything and discuss anything. My life at home tends to be pretty structured so I'm always looking for opportunities to do something new and unexpected. My preferred method of travel is hitchhiking - sometimes you never know where you'll end up.
