About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having already traveled across USA twice in 2015, now I'm attempting a TX > Chicago > Boston adventure with a good friend. However, many days we split up and down our own thing. He's a parkour instructor/athlete and I'm a computer programmer.

ABOUT ME

I'm just as content to spend an afternoon inside doing computer techy things as I am to spend an afternoon running around outside climbing trees, jumping off of things, and building things.
I'm interested in everything, I have amazing friends (roughly a billion * 10^-7 of them), and I like learning new things. Plus, I'm sweet and thoughtful and love hearing your stories!

I spend most of my days working on a computer. You used to catch me watching BBC's Top Gear, and it's never hard to talk me into working on building bicycles, modifying a pickup truck for offroad use, learning to weld, or doing Habitat for Humanity as a crew leader.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people all around the world.

Interests

Juggling anything and everything (if there are 3 to 6 similarly sized items in front of me, they will soon be airborne) (seriously.), computer programming, flying with my fleet at midnight while jamming to funk music, making awesomely ridiculous nerdy art projects in the living room, doing handstands, fixing up my motorcycle and playing in the mud.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depends where I am at the time! When I am in Dracut I can probably offer a bunch of couches, a fire pit, and some garage space to fix on your bike or car.
