My name is Michael I'm 22 years old, I'm a gemini. I am very open minded and accepting of all people. I like experiencing new cultures and different life styles. My passion is new experiences, and I plan on making many of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan on moving to the PDX area in 2016 and I hope to be doing a lot of traveling once I'm settled there. I'm from Rapid City, South Dakota I'ved lived here all 22 years of my life. It's my home and it's a very slow calm place to live, I will someday raise a family here though I love it I want to experience as much life as I can while I'm young. I love traveling more than anything, and a site like this is just too beautiful of an opportunity to meet extraordinary people to pass up!

Interests

I love skiing I've got two pairs of skis and it is what I look forward to most in the wintertime, I also enjoy mountain biking or just bicycling in general I bike at least 5-10 miles a day I simply love it. I like going on hikes and I love nature so much beauty out there to see. I always like to be doing something I have a kendama which is a Japanese wooden toy with a spike, big cup, small cup, then an even smaller cup on the bottom with a ball attached I enjoy it a lot I hope to start a collection. I like politics, history Geography and deep conversations.
