CURRENT MISSION

Working and saving up for the next trip.

ABOUT ME

I absolutely love music and enjoy watching most sports. I had the pleasure of living in northern Minnesota for the past 5 years and have developed a strong desire to go hiking at all times or at least to see as much as I can while I'm on this planet. I'm open to new ideas and would love to meet as many people as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

"Shit will buff out as long as you work at it." There are a lot of people who get very frustrated over the little things in life and don't just let it come as it does. There are going to be enough times in your life to get stressed out that you don't need to over the little things in life. Oh and one of my fav quotes "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained we must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have just couch surfed with friends in Minnesota, Ireland, Israel, and Canada though not all of those through using couchsurfing.com, and all I can say is that it may favorite way to travel, though camping is fun too.

Interests

My interest include beer, disc golfing, lots and lots of music, ice skating, snowboarding, rafting, learning, meeting new and interesting people, cooking, going on random hikes, bonfires, going to markets, eating at hidden gems, and just talking to people of all backgrounds.
