My traveling days are (mostly) behind me. I've been to 35 countries over the past 8 years, and have finally returned to my home country. The USA. But I love meeting with travelers and sharing stories over a good beer.

I'm not hosting anyone, but I really love going out to the events and meeting all the cool people who come out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've used Couchsurfing over the years, and have always had good experiences. My purpose here isn't so much for travel anymore, but more so to be social and hang out with other people who enjoy traveling.

Interests

Writing. Photography. Reading. Awesome people. Beer. Mexican food. Beer AND Mexican food, at the same time...

Oh, and travel, of course.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my travel goals was to ride a motorbike in ten different countries before I returned home. My 10th country was Turkey, and I rode through the phenomenal Cappadocia area.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think everyone's got something to teach or offer to other people, so I love meeting all kinds of people. (Even the shitty ones might have something to teach). But the people I seem to get along with the best are respectful, just a little bit sarcastic, and open minded about the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Photography lessons, or great family portraits, or just fun travel stories ; )
