I'm Bruce! I'm originally from Cincinnati Ohio, and am now vagabonding around the country with my trusty Jetta trying to see it all (and also work a little bit along the way)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know the places I'm seeing from a local perspective. It's the people the make the places worthwhile

Interests

I enjoy hiking, camping, good beer, bad beer, soccer, frisbee, swimming, black coffee, and a good conversation

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: indie/folk, classic rock, some rap, some punk, some bluegrass, as long as the quality is there
Movies: mostly comedies, but I'm no buff by any means
Books: Forever open to suggestions. I currently have a box of books with me in my car, so I'm also open to trades!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed to the top of Mount Doom in New Zealand, no hobbits or lava pits to be found

Teach, Learn, Share

I like exchanging perspectives on life, but I also know about conservation work, outdoor living, engineering, and other assorted and relatively unconnected information

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, beer, coffee, hugs
