24, Blogger, Amateur Photographer, Hiker Extraordinaire Lazer Tag Champions (not really). I guess you could say I've taken the road less traveled most of my life. Every decision I've made has driven me further and further away from a path of life that many would call "normal." Traveling the world is what makes me happy, and so that's what I am trying to do. I look forward to everyone that I will meet on my journeys.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing, because it's the absolute best possible way really visit a country. A country is nothing without it's people. So what better way to immerse yourself in it's culture than by staying in the home of one of it's residents? Plus, it's a great way to make new friends. I love that there's a community like Couchsurfing that makes travelling possible for anyone.

I can teach you how to open a beer bottle without a bottle opener.
I can teach you how to play some simple songs on the guitar.

Honestly, I cannot teach you much.
