About Me

Let's see here... I love traveling and meeting new people. Life is an adventure, and I've been blessed to have been on a few.
Originally from California, I moved to KY when I was 11. After high school, I served four years in the Marine Corps where I got to travel the world and also live back in California for a few more years.
I have a mobile business, fixing computers.
Bring it on 2019, I am travelling across the oceanic :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like traveling on the cheap, and engaging with the people and places I meet along the way. The world is vast, and we can't possibly experience it all as individuals. But each carry a little bit of our homes with us, so by sharing with others we can reach those far flung places we might not otherwise get to see.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share tips on survival tactics. Can teach a few tricks with computers and show you how to service your car if you want me to :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

i'm very active, i don't like being served stuff,
to over simplify how i function around people read the following story,
" on a table of over 12 people, laughing, talking, eating, and crying, and accidently, you moved and touched a glass of liquid, and it spilled, by the time you look up to search and to locate the paper towel, i'd be already standing right there next to you offering you some "
i'm good with tools too, as in i can fix and construct anything if tools are provided.
