CURRENT MISSION:
I am about to embark on a European adventure with my partner Shannon. We are going to Lisbon for a few days before flying to Rome and then we will explore Italy together. Most likely we will go south. In march we are heading north to Ireland before going home. I want to meet as many local people as I can and learn about the culture the language and experience new things. If you are around any of these places please let me know!

ABOUT ME

Id like to acknowledge that as an American, I bear the responsibility of having a very terrible president and a culture of genocide and colonialism. For what it's worth I am sorry for bringing that into your home. I travel not just to escape that horror, but to learn and better myself with cultures that I can bring back to my community. To cross pollinate resistance to bigotry and capitalism. I am always looking out for those that wish to fight for anti oppression, even as the inherent oppressor.

I am pretty laid back and sometimes quiet. Its always because I am thinking and observing. I like doing and making things. Ive traveled east and west coasts of America multiple times with bands and just to explore. Ive also been to Australia, Rome and lived in New Zealand for a bit. I have met some wonderful people and really love those experiences. Couchsurfing has been a great conduit for amazing people in my experience.

I love to travel by alternative means whenever I can. Cheap is not always better but its often my only choice. Ive toured the US with two bands and saw the east and west coasts that way. I sailed around most of Australia and hitchhiked for days in AU and NZ.
