I'm an enthusiatic and friendly young guy who is interested in checking out different countries and cultures around the world. I'm excited to meet new people and try new things while hopping around the world! Maybe we can draw, hike, or bike together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So that I can meet locals and discover a side of their culture not usually seen from hotels, guided tours, and massive websites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked through the Big Horn Wilderness over the course of a month a couple years ago. Lots of snowstorms, mosquito-bites, and wet socks, but still one of my favorite memories ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a pretty decent curry recipe. I've done a lot of classes on drawing, some on backcountry medicine, and I work with metal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

That curry recipe which I just mentioned. Also I'm pretty nice and would love to swap information with hosts! I love talking about politics, the world, wilderness, botany, art, and travelling!
