My name is Matthew but my friends call me Matty or Meticulous! I am 31 years old and have decided to spend this next year on the road. I am looking to make my own adventure and look forward to all that comes my way. I believe in radical self reliance, communal effort, civic responsibility, gifting, radical inclusion, leaving no trace, participation, radical self-expression, immediacy, decommodification, honesty, forgiveness and the belief that enough love can fix anything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling along the west coast between San Diego, Ca and Portland, Or. I reside in Reno, Nv and consider this to be my home base. I am here because I want to meet You and I will be looking for places to stay for short periods of time, 1-3 days.
