I'm an optimist, an extrovert, and every day is a new adventure in my life. I go with the flow and love music and traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a people person. A place is only as good as the friends that I make along the way.

Interests

I'm an avid backpacker, photographer, and I love telling tall tales.

• photography
• cooking
• traveling
• music
• backpacking

Music, Movies, and Books

It's hard to find music that I don't like. I will listen to anything and everything, but I especially love reggae, folk, and bluegrass. Some of my favorite artists are Bob Marley, Slightly Stoopid, Led Zeppelin, Lord Huron, and Shakey Graves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once witnessed the coronation of the chief of a Northern Nigerian tribe. I'm 6'4", so the chief and elders invited me to the coronation ceremony because they regarded me as a great warrior from the United States. They were very surprised to hear that I was 20 years old and didn't have at least 5 wives!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share backpacking and photography tips and tricks that I've learned and I'm always ready to learn something new myself. (And I'm more than willing to share some tall tales from the trail)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and sharing meals with new friends. I'm always happy to share a meal and a great conversation with those who I meet along the way.
