About Me

I love to host people, but am a busy person. I find that I enjoy the most when people stay for more than one night and I have the chance to adventure with them and get to know them before they move on with their journey.

CURRENT MISSION

Fix my Van.

ABOUT ME

After finally going through college and getting a good job, I'm realizing there's got to be something better or more important to life then spending 1/4 of it working. What I do know is that I love the outdoors, and in the summer time I spend almost every weekend away from home, if not in a tent somewhere. In the meantime, I prefer small gatherings to big crowds. I'd much rather spent the night at somebody's house with a few friends then in a crowded bar somewhere. As such, I try and find people that have interesting conversations and discussions long into the night. If there is music making going on, all the better. My current dreams include motorcycle trips throughout the Americas or living in a Vanagon and climbing all day.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know how long I'll be on this planet, might as well make the most of it! Nobody should take themselves too seriously, nothing really matters that much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, I surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started eight years ago when traveling to Scotland after hearing about it from a friend. At this point, I've hosted 50+ people on my couch, surfed only a couple of times (don't get to travel as much as I might like...) and have made wonderful friends through CS!

Interests

Climbing. Scheming. Ultimate Frisbee. Wandering late at night. Full moons. Bicycles. Vans. Making things. Dancing.

Music: Much. Folk, bluegrass, punk, ska, singer/songwriter, indie rock, madonna, to say the least. What's stuck in my head right now: Ratatat - 17 years. Movies: right now mostly documentaries in my netflix que.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping off a 50 foot cliff the first time (into water). Everytime after that, you already know whats going to happen.
