My girlfriend, Kaylee, and I are spending the year traveling in our camper van that we built ourselves earlier this year.

Prior to that we were living in the Washington, DC metro area. Kaylee worked for a small political research institute as a research assistant, and I worked in the tech industry. We spent every weekend driving out of the city to go camping, so we decided to leave the city and travel for the year.

Check out our website thevanimals.com or our Instagram @the.vanimals if you want to see more about the van.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most likely if we are asking to stay with you we are looking for a place to park and a warm shower. We love meeting local people in the places that we travel and hearing about their experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have a rubiks cube, I can share with you my aptitude for solving them! We can cook you a meal in our van kitchen or share a six pack of beer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories about our travels or my time hiking the Appalachian Trail! Beer?! Happy to help out with chores! I'm pretty handy as well so if you have any projects that need doing, I’d love to help out.
