CURRENT MISSION

I really want to travel as much as I can. Right now my brother Josh and I are taking a year off to travel around Europe.
I also want to spend a summer in Alaska, take another long trip to see as much of South America as I can, and further down the road visit Asia, and Africa.

ABOUT ME

About me, well I a pretty open person. I enjoy meeting new people and generally get along with everyone. I am trying to pursue the life that I want, and not fall onto the path taken by the majority. I like unique and creative things, weather it be art, movies, music, or literature. I always appreciate something that will broaden your mind or inspire you. I really want to be an artist, I have work on several art projects but I don't call myself an artist because I believe you have to fully commit to being an artist to call yourself that. And that is something I have not done yet. So yeah, if you have any questions just ask.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think one of the best parts of traveling is meeting new people. We meet other travelers all of the time, and its always a pleasure to share stories and hear their advise. We also meet locals too, but not near as often it seems, so I would like to get to know the people that live in the cities I'm visiting more.

Interests

I love street art photography. Its always such and adventure for me to find one of my favorite artist' work on a wall in a city and get to capture it with a photo.

I also like drawing in my spare time, but my biggest artistic passion is digital media and working with spray paint and tiles to make unique mosaics. I really like working with mosaics and mixing materials.

I'm also a huge movie fan, I watch a new movie every other day or so, as well as always being interested in discovering my next favorite band.

I also like hiking, on a trail or without one, basically I really enjoy anything adventurous, weather it be hiking, kayaking, or rock climbing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

150 mile bike marathon from Houston to Austin for the MS Society. It was hot, exhausting, and challenging, but there was an awesome comradery among the riders and everything was for a good cause.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not exactly sure what I could teach. I'm pretty good at graphic design, or maybe I could give you a few drawing tips. If you English isn't perfect I would be happy to help there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mostly just traveling stories, and hopefully sharing some laughs with new friends.
