CURRENT MISSION

To learn / experience something new every day

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26-yr old who was traveling solo across the USA in my car...until I got tired of driving at 9000-mi and have since left the car in TX and am finishing my journey via plane / train. I'm doing a lot of camping, a little lodging in hostels, and some couch surfing. I started out in Houston, made it as far northeast as NYC, traveled up to Toronto, then (after many stops) to Glacier National Park, and eventually back down to Houston to drop-off the car. I'm easy going and am always looking for opportunities to learn something new or experience an activity / place that I haven't before.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Fairly new to the CS project. I'm hoping to experience more and more of it on my trip across country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had a few experiences CS, but only one that I've setup on this site - it was awesome!
