CURRENT MISSION

I have the winter season off so I'm traveling as much as I can. I will be going to Hawaii from 1/12 to 1/26 and then to the boundary waters with my dad for some cross-country skiing. Maybe Texas after that.

ABOUT ME

I am an adventure enthusiast. Adventure and travel has been my core since I took my first solo road trip in 2009. I'm currently seeing where the road will take me. I'm happiest when I am hiking a mountain or meandering down a stream. I love my family. There is much to convey but so little time.

PHILOSOPHY

To be in a constant state of Wanderlust.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I give people rides when they are hitchhiking because so many people have been so kind to me. Sadly, not too many people hitch-hike nowadays.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One girl in Green Bay gave me a couch to sleep on after a Packer game which was extremely kind of her. If I had my own place I would be open to letting people in.
