I'm 19 years old and I've lived basically in one place for all that time. I never thought my life was very interesting, but considered myself very lucky for the relative comfort in which I lived. I've only ever stuck with a very small group of friends; people I know for certain that I care about. I was a terrible student in school, not behaviorally, but academically. My test scores were certainly often above average, but I never did the work. School never clicked for me. So much so that I never even did anything extracurricular. When I was at home, I spent an unfortunately large chunk of my life on the computer playing games. It was one of those nights I was sitting there when I decided to really do something. I've got a whole life's worth of adventures in front of me, and I'd better start now. I may have gone to a bit of an extreme, choosing to bike across the country as my first, especially with no experience, but so far it's working and I'm having an amazing experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Biking Across America from Milwaukee to Los Angeles. I don't always have a place to stay, so couchsurfing can help me out

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I can listen to anything. Some of my favorite artists are Jon Bellion, Randy Travis, and Michael Buble
Movies: I haven't gotten into movies as much as some of my friends have, but anything Star Wars or Marvel I usually end up seeing opening night
Books: I like classic science fiction. Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, that sort of thing. My favorite book would have to be 20,000 Leagues under the sea. I've also got a collection of over 150 Star Wars books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far, my current experience has certainly been the most amazing by far, but to choose just one thing out of all of that, I'd have say... wow that's a tough one. Do I tell you about the time I ran with deer, or the time I befriended a racoon I named Warner?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm an extremely laid back guy, and very little can bother me. In return, I can certainly do a good job to not bother you. I'm a good listener and would love to hear your stories, as well as share some of my own.
