About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel with a backpack, and carry only what you need

ABOUT ME

I am a big road bike guy and love hitting the trails and streets. If you don't have a bike, I've got an extra one. I also spend some of my weekends working on my old cars. I've got a '69 VW bus that I've been restoring and travel up to Nebraska to my shop to work on them. Feel free to come along! I spend most weekends exploring the city!

I spend my time playing guitar, watching old movies, backpacking, and riding my bike. I don't like to drive too much, unless it's a road trip.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel with good friends at all the stopping points.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am out travelling! So if you're anywhere near Colorado or Nebraska, hit me up and we'll go grab a drink or dinner!

If you're stuck anywhere and need a ride, I'm always a phone call away.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I keep my friends on speed dial when I'm traveling. I love to crash at their houses and catch up.
