CURRENT MISSION
Live vicariously through couch-surfers while I figure out what's next

ABOUT ME
I'm 25 years old and I'm originally upstate New York (think mountains and lakes, not skyscrapers). I graduated from collage in 2012 and I have been bouncing around this planet since then. I'm still trying to explore as much of this wide world as I can but I'm temporary settled in Newport, Oregon where I get to enjoy the beautiful Pacific coast with my roommate, Erin, and our gang of animals (two cats and a dog).

PHILOSOPHY
Do good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like a chance to meet locals and learn about the area from them. I've spent a lot of time in hostels while I've been traveling and even though I've met some wonderful people that way, I think the best way to learn about places is through the people who love them.
