Just a goofy guy exploring this groovy planet!
I'm spontaneous, inquisitive and always up for a good time :)
Growing up in Alaska is by far the best thing that ever happened to me... it gave an intrinsic love of nature and an attraction to the grittier parts of life. I have also lived in Portland, Oregon, Asheville, North Carolina and now Bellingham, Washington.
I'm a college student constantly in search of new experiences and modes of living. Travel is key to my soul! I welcome new places and people, so please don't hesitate to reach out, whether I can currently host or not. As a guest I will be respectful of your home and generosity, and would be happy to join you on any adventure, whether it's sitting down for ice cream, partying all night or taking your favorite hike. I look forward to meeting you!
