About Me

Hello! I am a backpacker, a farmer, a student, a writer, an artist, a bicyclist, a cook, and an Eagle Scout. I have lived most of my life in the Bay Area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling to Baja California in February and I am looking to meet new people and share experiences and have a place to sleep and all that good stuff.

Interests

Cooking - Food is something I am very passionate about, and cooking is just so damn fun. It is my favorite method of artistic expression.
Hiking/ Bicycling - I have been hiking and bicycling my whole life and I intend to keep doing it. I am really into long-distance bicycling at the moment.
Language - I have been slowly learning Spanish over the past few years and I am loving it so far. I cannot wait to be fully immersed in a foreign language and culture.
I have many more interests of course but you're gonna have to talk to me!

Any good music, but especially rap. Don't worry, I won't blast rap music in your house unless you want me to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On an organic farm in Humboldt County I worked 12 hour days for 6 months harvesting mostly cucumbers and zucchini. If you've ever harvested these things before you will understand how backbreaking and satisfying this is.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basic cooking skills, or I can just cook :)
