I am on a bit of a stroll around after a position at an oyster farm on the Oregon coast wrapped up. I am trying to follow some warm weather and am currently finishing up cruising in South Florida and helping my brother work on his new sailboat. I intend to head to New Orleans then onward to Hawaii then back up to Portland(OR). I would love to crash with some folks along the way!

I definitely find myself doing a lot of solo exploration, but certainly enjoy getting to know new folks and develop new connections.

I like to avoid the spotlight but provide it for others through community organized creative spaces. I aspire to write as more of a profession than a hobby.

I'm an easy going dude and I love new places, new people, fresh experiences. I can cook. I read, write, hike, bike, sail, swim, watch/listen to music, drive all over, drink good beer (and cheap classics), camp, grin, and fly by the seat of my pants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

-local insight
-honestly, it's cheaper than staying in hotels in a city.
-new pals to keep in touch with!
