CURRENT MISSION

Climb the U.S.!

ABOUT ME

Ah, what to say, what to say. I am 24 years old and am always attempting to live free and wild. I like adventure and I like to share my experiences with other people. Rock climbing is my game of choice, so most of my travels are based around getting on high quality stone! I have had great couchsurfing experiences around the country so far, and have met some fantastic characters, to say the least. Alternative traveling methods are much more exciting than a roundtrip plane ticket. I used to live in the beautiful Southern Appalachian mountains, but am currently living out of my truck and traveling the country and Mexico. I studied geology in school and plan on going back to school some day to continue studying earth processes, but for now, I am gonna see all I can see and meet as many good people as I can meet. When I find another location to stay put for a while, I will open my couch back up!

PHILOSOPHY

Have your priorities straight. For me, sacrifice some basic comforts for the chance to experience what others may not see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I can, I have my cozy couch available to anyone traveling through, because i know i would like the hospitality and will need it in the near future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed many couches on cross-country excursions. Had some interesting, and remarkable experiences because of it. I have also hosted a number of folks.
