I am a world traveler who is looking to make new friends and explore new communities. I grew up in a small town and now want to be a part of something much bigger. I enjoy, history, hiking, and culture, as well as performing music. I'm a metalhead who writes post rock and indie rock from time to time, and I'm also a vegetarian who loves cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want a cheaper way of traveling from place to place, And to offer others the same when I am able to. After all, friendship and hospitality build a better world wide community!
