I lived in Ohio for the first 22 years of my life and then moved to the West Coast. I was a Buddhist monk for several years in Northern California and British Columbia. I play guitar, do art, bike and meditate. Foremostly, I'm a nice and trustworthy guy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know people while I travel, rather than just staying in a hotel and not connecting with local people. I also like the idea of meeting the kind of people who would open their home up to travelers and who genuinely want to connect with their fellow human beings.

Unfortunately my current living situation does not permit me to accept guests.
