About Me

Hi,

I love learning new things and meeting new people! Whenever I get the chance I enjoy spending time outside, whether it be hiking, cycling, camping or canoeing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the best things about traveling is experiencing the local culture, but sometimes it can be hard to tease a real cultural experience out of a web of tourist options! I am hoping that couchsurfing will help me connect with locals when traveling and learn more about their cities, food, and music.

Interests

I enjoy live music and good food and drink. I'm an avid photographer and filmmaker - mostly enjoy landscape and nighttime photo making. I also like to cycle and go hiking and camping as much as possible - always exploring new places!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music but I'm especially into indie rock, folk, jazz, and chill electronic. I am a musician (drums, guitar) and would love to make music together.
Music: Nils Frahm, Lord Huron + too many to list.
Movies: anything from Ron Fricke. If you don't know who he is...please look him up! Anything thought provoking, artistic, and emotion stiring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled on a dream trip across Europe, 100% human powered by bicycle! I rode over 6000km over 2 months and developed an epic bike short tan line!
