Just a happy traveler from the Sunshine State!

I love the outdoors, and I love adventure! My goal is too make every day I can interesting and exciting. I want to see many different places and experience different things and come back with a story to tell, knowledge gained and some new life long friends

I believe that the only true way to obtain a greater understanding of the world is through experiencing it first hand, and that is what I intend to do!

The earth is amazing and so are the people on it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people is half the fun! Couchsurfing has been an amazing way for me to meet some of the best people I know in my life and to make great friends all over the world!

Although I rarely get the chance to host surfers from my house since I typically live in a tiny living areas or my van, I still love to meet surfers from all over the world and always love to give them tours of the mountains, coast, city or just meet for coffee!

I have several times now hosted couchsurfing road trips, where we all meet up as strangers and travel in the van all over the west in search of adventure, and have met some of the greatest people doing this.

Music, Movies, and Books

No one really wants to sit and read a list of my favorite things, so I'll leave a general summery.

Music: a large variety ranging from reggae to punk to metal and electronic.

Movies: psychological thrillers and my top favorite, but anything can be good!

Books: Ray Bradbury is my favorite author of all time.
