CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a bicycle mechanic. I hope to be more eventually. Right now I'm focused on studying. I'm going to school for welding and machining. One day I'd like to go to school for mechanical engineering, materials science, and a handful of other things. Sometimes I play music, different sorts. I'd like to go to space.

PHILOSOPHY

It's best to be rational about things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed a couple times a few years ago but found that I didn't really need it for the way I was travelling back then. I was backpacking and slept outside a lot or just met people who invited us to stay with them. I think it's a little more relevant to my life now since everything is a little more structured.
