Hey! I'm a somewhat quiet individual who likes to risk and dive headlong into the unknown. I'm the youngest in a close-knit family and grew up in northern New York, a place many strangers call "boring", but I do love it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am fascinated by the variation of human expression throughout the modern world and throughout history. I want to experience as many of those different lifestyles as I can, not through mere travel but through periods of time observing the ebb and flow of specific lives in specific areas.
