Hello Friends! My name is Kalem I'm I am a college student taking a gap year to start traveling. I grew up in central Michigan and haven't traveled much until this year, but I am excited to embrace this world and meet a plethora of new people. I'm pretty easy going and love to talk about anything that interests you! Some other things to know about me are that I'm a vegetarian, I care a lot about the environment and the world, and I play the drums and ukulele. I'm also super excited to learn things from YOU!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my year of Travel I am doing a ton of different things. Right now I am WOOFing on the north shore of Oahu, and pretty soon I will be heading to Australia! I love the idea of couchsurfing as a way to meet new people and engage with the local culture! I am here to learn!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just got done hitchhiking from Michigan to Colorado and have some pretty cool stories about it :)

Teach, Learn, Share
