About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world on a shoestring.

ABOUT ME

Traveling is my passion, and I take as many trips as I can. I have been traveling on and off since 2013, taking less and less breaks from travel recently. I like to say I have become something of a budget travel expert, especially at finding cheap plane tickets. I work only to travel and I'm trying to combine the two. I love new experiences and making new connections, I endeavor to try everything at least once. Love to make new friends around the world and experiences new things. If you have a frisbee or a volleyball lets play. Also take me to your favorite swimming/cliff jumping spot

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am open to host surfers, but I will be traveling soon, so Ill try to hook you up with someone in my home town if I can.

Interests

I've been doing some hitchhiking lately and love it, if I could travel by hitchhiking only, I would.

I love vans. Specifically vans people convert to live in. I have joined the craze #vanlife and recently built my own van which I brought on an 8,000 mile trip in the American west in late 2017.

Lived in a tent for 5 weeks in Mexico with almost no money. Sometimes being attacked at night by wild dogs. Sometimes no food. Always kindness from strangers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have recently decided to not let a single learning opportunity escape me, no matter how trivial the skill I am learning. Most recently was billiards. Hoping to learn French and/or German in 2018.

I think sharing experiences with "strangers" is one of the most real things you can do. But I always say strangers are really just friends you haven't met yet.

Whenever I'm going through a spot of bad luck I say "I've been through worse" And then I try to laugh imagining someone else in my situation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an adventure buddy, bar mate, or just conversation partner. Everyone can teach me something, and I can (hopefully) teach something to everyone.

I don't know if it's a skill anymore, but i can usually find the cheapest way to arrive to a destination, finding the
