An American who lived in Germany for over a year, going on my “goodbye Europe” tour before I head home to the USA. Love traveling and meeting new people, especially people with cool life experiences.

I am an avid hiker and outdoorsman, I don’t mind sleeping outside at all. I was raised in the mountains, but I enjoy nature pretty much anywhere. I speak English and a little bit of German.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new and different people, and to see places that most tourists would never imagine.

Interests

Hiking, swimming, general adventure. In my spare time I do woodworking, mainly as projects but also to help friends/family out. I also love reading, and I’m very good with movies. Have to admit, I’m also a Star Wars nerd :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m very open minded when it comes to music, but Metallica and old school metal will always have a place in my heart. As far as books go, I love to read all types of things…but Stephen King might be the best author of all time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped out of an airplane seven times..so far. If you haven’t already, try it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some somewhat unusual skills, mainly carpentry, first aid, swimming and marksmanship. I love teaching others about new skills. I have several years experience teaching adults, children, and even seniors in swimming, marksmanship, and even history.
