CURRENT MISSION

Drink all the coffee in the world!

ABOUT ME

Hey couch surfers, like you, I joined the couch surfing world to meet local people when I travel because it makes travel just.. so much more culturally authentic, memorable and just overall better. I wouldn't have it any other way!

I like to keep things light hearted and try to do so when I can by using humor. If you have a knack for really bad puns (my specialty!) then we're going to get along quite well :). Bonus points if you like talking about nerdy stuff and/or random facts! I can be up for all-nighters or just taking it easy and relaxing and not doing anything at all. In my experience, being ready to do anything at a moment's notice makes for a better journey.

Back at my home in the states, where the cheese is not the best, I like to go mountain biking, playing music -drums, acoustic guitar and a very small amount of piano-, reading poetry (random, huh?), drinking what is likely a superhuman amount of coffee, and my new obsession, trying new cheeses.

PHILOSOPHY

Well, that's something much better to discuss in person, eh? ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not able to host, but as someone who is dating someone whose sister-roommate hosts couch surfers, I get to join in the fun of making friends awesome people from around the world!

When I surf, I'm very helpful with my host and am generally very clean to make things as stress free as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Plenty.. and so far, all have been great!

Interests

Music - I've been drumming for over 14 years now. Actually, I lost count after that. With that in mind, I can tell you that I couldn't have lasted so long if I didn't love every detail of music - performance, composition, recording and everything else under the sun.

Nature - I love camping, mountain biking, kayaking, hiking and anything that involves exploring nature. Bonus points if it gives an adrenaline rush!

I also enjoy art, architecture, poetry, cooking (just a little) and having spontaneous conversations about science!
