Overview
About Me
I'm traveling around Europe for the next few months...it's my first solo trip, I'm hoping to get out of my comfort zone.
I've got my head in the clouds. I love to dream. DANCE. Play basketball. Produce music. See performances of any kind. Discover the unknown. I have an unquenchable desire to learn.
I love to hike, camp, climb...be outside
At the same time I love to game
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Like Frodo, my journey will be made by the people I meet along the way.
I wish to hear your stories, learn about your daily life, hear where your mind drifts when it's free, see the city through your eyes.
I hope to offer you a glimpse into my life, what I think about, to share my experiences, and to listen to if you just need someone to talk to, cause sometimes life gets lonely.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I drove through the desert of the Southwestern US. We got to the edge of a canyon at sunset and the only road was a dirt switchback winding down to the river. We descended the path as the last pink in the sky turned to black. At the bottom, the moon painted the red rocks of the canyon walls.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am eager to learn any musical knowledge you may have. I'm a beginner at guitar, drums, singing, and anything I can get my hands on...I wish to dive into a lifetime of music.
I've been taking photos with my DSLR for a few years, and have been editing in lightroom for awhile. I hope to teach and learn from other photographers, or take photos of/with you.
I studied biology in school so if you wanna know about life, I'm your guy
My imagination runs wild and I have stories I wish to write buzzing thru my head; I love to discuss with others, my friends provide most of the inspiration for the stories I imagine.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm willing to open up and share my experiences with whoever I stay with. I feel whole when vulnerable with people to connect with them. I've been fortunate to travel to a few continents, get a college education, lead outdoor travel trips for kids, among other things. I'm a deep thinker and when I'm feeling my best, insanely curious. I've been dueling with life's monotony and hope to overcome it with you.
You're always welcome to stay with me in the US when I return.
