About Me

Been living on wheels for the last few years currently Arizona based. I have met great people across the country through couchsurfing and love the community! I look forward to meeting other travelers.

I love being outdoors and especially around the mountains. I'm always on the hunt for stunning views, epic hikes, rock climbing, and great roads for motorcycle riding. I got a nac for finding hidden hot springs as well :). Also, I am somewhat of an adrenaline junkie and have gone skydiving a few times, bombed mountain trails on a bike, and some paved ones on skates know any crazy activities?

I am a bit of a beer enthusiast and I try to cook fairly often, usually it's just hot enough to bring a tear to your eye. Go ahead and reach out, let's meet up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet local people in new places and trade stories. It gives me a chance to share the culture and values I grew up on, and learn about yours! I've found it a great place to get recommendations, find hidden gems, and make new friends.

Interests

I am an active person that likes to share the stories I create along the way. I mechanically minded and can often be found working on vehicles. I am also quite passionate about motorcycling.

  • beer
  • motorcycles
  • hiking
  • backpacking
  • surfing
  • rock climbing
  • storytelling
  • watersports
  • adrenaline
  • skating
  • making new friends

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most kinds of music, normally rock and alternative. I actually won some tickets to the Aftershock festival in Sacramento California by headbanging, and also made it on the news... By headbanging 😂

As far as movies I am up to date with the marvel movies, but don't go to the theater too often.

Fantasy books are my favorites. World War Z is actual a great read if you like zombies, Dark Matter was solid, currently reading Lord of the Rings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got left on an uninhabited island... I don't think they even let people go there anymore. If you want to look up some photos of it, me and a friend got left at Maya Bay on Phi Phi Lee in Thailand.

Also hosted a few wild college parties that rival the ones you see in the movies.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is tough! I call myself a jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none!

Teach:
If you have some balance and are interested I will show you the basics of motorcycle riding! I think my only other easily taught skill is nailing cheap flights 😁.

Learn:
I want to learn your favorite dish! Everyone can add a bit of variety to their normal diet.

Share:
Let's share a drink, food, and some memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring with me a lot of stories and pleasant conversation, also if you tell me the best local beer I'll bring some to share 😁. If you need help troubleshooting a vehicle don't hesitate to let me know, I can hold my own when it comes to fixing things. Also I can flip eggs in a pan without breaking them... Overeasy
