23, Portland, Oregon native
I've never been outside the states till now but always believed in diving into new experiences head first.

When I'm traveling, I like serendipity! It's great having no firm plans and just going with the flow. I love going on crazy adventures, meeting awesome people, and building real friendships.

Recently graduated from university with a degree in architectural design and but I'm very interested in business/ startups. Before I get too tied down with my ventures I thought I'd do something wild, so a few mates and I entered the Mongol Rally (check it out at mamas-boys.com).

My Next 2-3 months will look something like this starting July 6th:

London > France > Belgium > Luxembourg > Germany > Austria > Slovakia > Hungary > Romania > Greece > Turkey > Georgia > Azerbaijan > Kazakstan > Uzbekistan > Tajikistan > Kyrgyzstan > Kazakstan > Russia > Mongolia> Japan

... Like I said, jump in head first! Haha

*Donald Trump is a crazy person

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to be big on AirBnB but had a few stays where I didn't even see the host and realized that a lot of people just hosting for the money. I'm not looking for a tour guide but I love spending quality time with new interesting and sincere people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Said yes to the Mongol Rally

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied in a creative design field so I can teach you how to draw and how your house was made.

I am very open minded and genuinely love learning. Everyone is better than me in some way, so there is a lot to learn from everyone I meet.

If you've got a pair of running shoes, let's run! If you know a good trail, even better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I started two companies while at university and I'm always open to share experiences, epic failures, and tips if that kind of thing interests you. Otherwise all I've got is a positive attitude and plenty of smiles.

Countries I’ve Lived In
