About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in west central Minnesota, USA. I graduated high school in 2010. I then went to school out in the Black Hills of South Dakota for a degree in mechanical engineering. I graduated in spring of 2015 and I am now near Ronda, Spain for most of the time between now and mid-October 2015.

PHILOSOPHY

Along with my outdoor hobbies, I am also very interested in vehicle aerodynamics. I work on a race car at school and have been to Ford's wind tunnel twice to test our car.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am near Ronda, Spain working at a race resort. I am not able to host guests while I stay here, but I would love to meet up with local couchsurfers, or ones travelling through the area. The drawback is I don't have a car and I'm about 20 minutes out of town. I'm still working on my Spanish; consider yourself warned haha. I'd love to spend more time in the city of Ronda, or anywhere else nearby!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed once on my own with a guy from northern Minnesota on a solo trip I took around Lake Superior.

I have not been very active with my Couchsurfing account; however, my friends have had several fun couchsurfers that I have had the opportunities to meet and spend time with.

Interests

I like to fish, hike, bike, camp, backpack, snowboard, rock climb, and travel.
