About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover how much I don't know about the world, one person at a time.

ABOUT ME

I am originally a farmboy from Indiana. I have acquired a love for travel and want to see as much of the world as I can. I love to play sports whenever I can especially in new environments. One of my favorite aspects of traveling is getting to know new people, both locals and fellow travelers!

PHILOSOPHY

Generally I go with my gut on decisions. Once I decide that I want to do something it usually happens.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Generally not too many people desire to travel through Shelbyville, Indiana. When I am there, I have plenty of room to host though. I have been meeting a lot of great couchsurfing people who have hosted me and in events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had great experiences recently both with long time hosts as well as with first-time hosts testing the waters. Everyone has blown me away with their generosity and great attitudes toward life.

Interests

Books, soccer, music festivals, adventures, dreaming, ultimate frisbee, naps, bicycling, comic books, snacks, trivia, basketball, animals, things that light up, cuddle puddles, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled with my bicycle from California, USA to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Teach, Learn, Share

I consider myself decent at many things, but not great at much. I can contribute toward an education in Ultimate Frisbee, hackey sack, English language, bicycle travel, comic book trivia, and other useless stuff.
