26 and wandering this big blue planet as much as I can for as long as I'm alive.

As I explore the world, I learn about its beer! I'm a home brewer, beer drinker, and bartender.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I believe in the power of community. There are people all over the planet you may never meet sitting in a hotel room watching cable late at night. I don't want to miss out on that.

Interests

I like an even balance of fast and slow. I enjoy learning the historical aspects of cities but am always up for experiencing the night life.

• beer
• yoga
• boating
• traveling
• socializing
• backpacking
• camping
• surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading "Thoughts Without a Thinker" by Mark Epstein MD. I have been working on reading the great classics along with other modern fiction.

In my pack right now:
The Complete Maus
The Gita
An assortment of poetry to last me two weeks hopefully.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I was on a boat, I took a ferry to Isla de Ometepe. The lake is so big you can't see the mainland. It was beautiful watching it disappear.
