About Me

I'm a novice adventurer excited about the prospect of traveling and meeting amazing people!

A couple years ago I decided to fulfill a long-time goal of cycling down the Oregon coast, and I got a taste of how incredibly life-affirming it can be to travel with a very simple goal and very few things planned. Running into other like-minded people along the journey, living completely in the moment, and trusting in the inherent goodness of strangers just reaffirmed my faith in humanity!

Over the course of the journey I stayed with a host one night and it was a great experience! We've kept in touch and he came to visit me a couple years later, so I know Couchsurfing can be a means of making lasting friendships.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning another bike trip down the Florida keys and would love to stay with hosts and discover the hidden treasures the keys have to offer that only locals would know.
