I have been bouncing from place to place for the past few years and am looking forward to taking my travels even further. Been a while since I have used couchsurfing on account of me not needing at and also, sadly enough, not having roommates that were comfortable with the idea.

ABOUT ME
I play a lot of music and read a lot of books. Used to be a self proclaimed loner but am learning how great life can be when surrounded by friends and family. My main mode of transportation is a bicycle and I hope to eventually ride it all over the world. I love to meet new people and for those people to show me their favorite parts of the city they live in.

PHILOSOPHY

Just don't hurt anybody

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Started with a roommate in Berkeley, CA that had a couchsurfing account and we let people stay all the time. I eventually moved to Chicago and started my own. For the past few years I have either been traveling or living with people that were not comfortable with couchsurfers so my account has been out of commission. I soon hope to change that though so I can start to give back to the community.
