CURRENT MISSION

To make the most out of my first solo road trip this spring/summer.

ABOUT ME

I'm an Orlando native in the process of relocating to the west coast. It's actually a pretty exciting time in my life at the moment since I'm completely free of most adult responsibilities and plan on using this new found freedom to its fullest potential! I love being outdoors and have a deep seeded passion for sustainable agriculture, a thirst for random last minute adventures, and am drawn to quite/quirky coffee shops. I enjoy meeting fellow travelers, dreamers, pragmatics, beer-drinkers, and weirdos a like.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life simply.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed on numerous couches, floors, and spare bedrooms and have had the pleasure of hosting once before. I hope to host more travelers once I settle back into a place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back in 2011 my best friend and I traveled around the US for seven months working on organic farms and during our travels we relied heavily on the welcoming nature of the Couchsurfing community. I'm hitting the road again this Spring and Summer and will be traveling from Orlando, FL out to the west coast with my dog and number one co-pilot, Samson.
