I've grown up in the mid-west, I've seen a lot of the country and I'd like to see more especially the National Parks. I live with great people in a community-style house. I prefer a good conversation over TV any day. I love to travel and explore. My greatest travel experience was 3 months through Europe. I enjoy new places, people shared experiences and food (any and all types).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new friends and explore new places!

Interests

Sports (especially playing them, but watching too) soccer, football, tennis and golf. Made up sports too, like pumpkin bowling.

The Great Outdoors: from local parks, to hiking/camping (I'm a novice) but love it the same.
Reading/Learning: books and library's are a must (I spend time in the 'Media' section too)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: From Blues/Jazz to Folk/Bluegrass to Rock/Pop to Indie/International and Bob Marley(lots of Bob)
Right now I'm listening to Dawes, and Ray LaMontagne, The Black Keys and Bob Dylan
Movies: Asking me my taste in movies is like asking a kid what his/her favorite ice cream flavor is. "I like chocolate, vanilla, birthday cake, brownie, pistachio, cookie dough, cookies n' cream, the rainbow kind, the mint kind... I LIKE THEM ALL!
Books: I like a good short story. A coming of age tale. Sprinkle in some philosophy, and a good sports book.
