About Micah- I am an adventurous 20 year old from the windswept plains of western Kansas just living the dream! My hometown is a little farm town called Stockton. I have a passion for nature, a thirst for knowledge, and a glass half full. I could school Finn any day in basketball, but probably not most other people. I have a fairly new found passion for guitar and am loving getting to know the instrument and the process of making music. (Finn wouldn't tell you but he is way better than me) The ambulance is the materialization of a dream that I have had almost my whole life. I have always thought van living would suit me well and I so about a year ago I decided to save up and make my dream come true. I found this retired ambulance and for 7 months worked my butt off to get it running and livable. I am proud to say I exceeded even my own expectations and have been living in it for the last 4 months and loving every minute of it! Except for when Finn is using the toilet without putting up the privacy curtain.. I really enjoy meeting new people and swapping stories. And also I have a wide range of work experience including concrete and residential construction, cooking, landscape, and vehicle detailing and minor repairs. Really any odd job you throw our way we can probably help you out! Hope to hear from you!

About Finn- Hello, my name is Finn. I was born and raised in a town called Manhattan in the rolling flint hills of North East Kansas (they're actually made of limestone, not flint!). I was gifted with being raised in this area because no matter where I went there were hills and forests to be explored so I quickly grew a love for mother nature as a child, spending my days running around the local woods and fields coming home in time for dinner covered in dirt and sun burns. It has always been a dream of mine to explore the seven seas and seven continents (or nine continents if you count Greenland and India) and behold the wonders of the world and now that dream is coming to life as I begin my journey right here in the USA.

About Diesel- Hi, am Diesel. Am a very fun loving and friendly brown lab. My human language skill are much bad but I still love humans with much heart. I enjoy milk bones, looking at stuff, sniffing things, and being a dog. Sometimes me think about the complexity of the universe and sometimes me think about milk bones. Me owner Micah and him friend Finn are very cool humans who are smart, caring, and very handsome. They are much cool and are not weird. They would not write an article on the interweb pretending to be a dog because that would be much weird if they did. Am very good dog who is calm, quiet, and open to meet new humans and animals alike. I like milk bones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hey my name is Micah and my friend Finnegan, loving dog Diesel, and I are traveling the country in an ambulance that we transformed into a full time living rig! We are taking our time going place to place and settling down for weeks at a time to work and make some money to travel on! We are looking for cool people who will let us park and plug in (regular 110v plug in) at their location while we are there. We are willing of course to pay for the electric and a small lot rent, let us know what you are thinking would make it work! So here we are on the internet asking strangers for a place to park for a while and offer our hand in neighborship. We will hope to provide you with many laughs and memories and aid in any task or hardship you face whether it be a squeaky floor board in the living room, a leaky pipe in the kitchen, or a very angry grizzly bear in the laundry room. I wish to meet many people in our travels and it is my hope that you are one of those people!

Interests

Me and Micah met while we working at the same restaurant in downtown Manhattan. We quickly discovered or mutual interest in the great outdoors. We spent many a day hiking and camping, singing songs and playing guitar by camp fires, drinking from questionable puddles of water, and fighting over the last swig of wine. We have shared laughs and curses alike in our adventures. I had talked to Micah about my ambitions of traveling the world many times and one day he came to me with the proposition of becoming traveling partners and touring the states in an old ambulance he had been restoring. So we began our mission. Micah spent many a day under the fiery heat of the sun laboring to make the ambulance a perfect home and I sat nearby sipping long island ice tea and supervising, in the shade of course, as to not let the scorching sun hinder my supervising skills. After many hiccups and road blocks the ambulance was ready for action.
