Overview
About Me
Hey!
Twenty years old, just a dude living life. I'm hoping to spend the majority of my twenties traveling, seeing this beautiful country and meeting all sorts of fascinating people on my way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm here to help other travelers find a place to crash, a person to hang out with and turn them on to the places and people that I love, and vice versa.

Music, Movies, and Books
I don't watch movies often, but I do have a few favorite directors. Anything by Tarkovsky, Paul Thomas Anderson, Clint Eastwood and Lars Von Trier is right up my alley.
Favorite authors include Cormac McCarthy, Hemingway and David Foster Wallace. I also enjoy poetry: "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg, "Ithaka" by C.P. Cavafy and "Ulysses" by Tennyson are my favorites.
My taste in music generally centers on classic rock and Americana. Jason Isbell and Bob Dylan are staples of my listening routine. I also enjoy Janis Joplin, Hendrix, Derek and The Dominoes, Pink Floyd, Justin Townes Earle, Ryan Adams, and Otis Redding. Many other artists as well, but I find that the majority of my listening is focused on the artists that I have listed.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hitchhiked in the American West, as well as traveled all throughout the Southwest via car. I've met all sorts of fascinating people, have seen all manner of beautiful places and hope to do it till I am gone.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A willingness to explore the place that they call home, an eagerness to listen to their story and enjoy their company, and a burning desire to experience new things and be in the moment.
