📍Originally from Wisconsin, USA. I'm visiting Miami Beach until at least spring 2025.

Since 2015 I've been traveling/vagabonding/nomading with varying levels of intensity and have spent time in Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Netherlands, and USA. I'm into photography, alt-health, fitness, and trying to understand what's happening in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had a great experience with the CS community initially in Amsterdam and later in Denver, Colorado. CSers seem consistently interesting and atypical in a good way.
