I am a world traveler, voracious consumer of information, amateur pianist, creator of ideas, and outdoor enthusiast. I've traveled to 25 countries in the last 3 years and graduated (somehow in 4 years) from the University of Colorado (Go Buffs!). I took a leap of faith and moved to Austin in June to launch a travel company with a friend.

I am a very clean and laid back individual. I've lived on a ship and had 25 different house mates in the last 3 years... meaning I'm used to adapting and being flexible. I don't think you will find a more respectful guest than me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Moved to Austin in June to pursue my dream of starting a company. Currently in the middle of launching a travel platform devoted to motorcycle travel. My summer sub lease runs out at the end of July, at which point I'll begin looking for nice places to crash under bridges and public places (this is mostly a joke)! I'm looking to the couchsurfing community for a place to stay, while I get my company off and running.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm attracted to people who are passionate about things, even strange things. If you are passionate about something.. then I want to know about it

I'm trying to learn how to code right now...I would love to stay with someone with a tech background.
