Hi. I am currently traveling the west coast of the U.S. with my buddy Paul. A little about me. I have traveled asia, europe, and australia for two years... got back last year, entered social work for a year, and am currently working as a freelance writer while traveling. Paul and I both played collegiate basketball (he's 6'9'', I'm 6'4'') and have been great friends since college. Paul has his master's in business administration and currently works as a teacher at an elementary school with kids with behavioral issues. We both love music, podcasts, and the outdoors, and would love to meet some locals while traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had some great experiences couchsurfing, and feel like meeting locals at a destination is the best way to see the most authentic, off-the-beaten path of a city.
