I abandoned the cozy dive bars of midwest USA for the glossy canals and pedal-pushers of Amsterdam late summer of '13, but now find myself drifting around Europe. I am an advocate for great coffee, bad jokes and long naps on the beach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent some time surfing with other people through a joint profile but decided to be my own person, voila.

COUCHSURFING EXP

I have unfortunately only been on the receiving end of cs, you see, spending my nickels and dimes on dream vacations and living in shoeboxes as a result.
Spent a few weeks surfing in Canada, Norway, Sweden, and Prague

Interests

I will try almost anything, eat almost anything, read almost anything. My hobbies tend to change weekly, but there have been a few constants: lakes and trees and all those groovy things, motown, illustration, coffee, a clever turn of phrase, and big personalities.

• dogs
• illustrations
• coffee
• surfing
• beaches
• lakes

Music, Movies, and Books

Beach Boys fan, but I will get down to motown/funk and soul, psych rock gems like tame impala, bad hip hop and the occasional bossa nova groove.

Movies? Jaws.

I could read all day. Gimme some beat generation razzmatazz and I'll usually be in good spirits.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
