About Me

ABOUT ME

I really just like to do crazy or weird stuff just because. Sometimes it's costumes parties, weird craft projects, or an odd event I host.

I fill up those plastic Easter eggs with jello shots and hide them in the park to go on a hunt with friends. Been doing that for about seven years now.

I hiked the Colorado trail. Took us about 30 days for the whole 500 mile hike.

Traveled through Europe for three months after completing college.

Booked a one way ticket to Bangkok and somehow ended up in Portugal 4 months later.

I've been working in the oil fields for about 4 years even though a lot of my education is in the green energy sector.

I've visited about 35 countries so far. I plan to do quite a few more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to get back into hosting once in a while. It would have to be someone me and my girlfriend would both agree on.

Even though I'm stuck working for the next few years I miss talking with random travelers. I also like to get ideas for new trips.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really love couch surfing. I've been hosted by lots of people and it's totally changed my trips for the better. My trip though India on motorcycle was life changing and it was made possibly by this website.
