About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the entire world, one couch at a time!

ABOUT ME

I'm an American currently living and working in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. I've been here since March of 2011. Since then I've done some travelling around Europe. I drove down to Croatia and also spent a week in Turkey. Travelling alone can be boring unless you get to know how the locals live and I think couch surfing is a great way to do it. I love meeting people from different cultures.

My dream: spend 6 months riding a motorcycle across Russia.

PHILOSOPHY

Take everything in moderation, including moderation
