CURRENT MISSION

To stay in the flow.

ABOUT ME

Everyone calls me Hutch, you can to if you'd like.

I travel a lot pursuing my goals, a list that seems to get longer and not shorter as I move along. I've been going pretty steady since 2007 and besides a work stint coming up I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.

PHILOSOPHY

My lifestyle slots well into the vegan straightedge category. I take it seriously, but understand it's a niche group (I have never met another one in real life and would love to if you're reading this).

I skip out on a lot of social norms but still consider myself an interesting person to be around. I do my best to try and create a lasting and positive impression on those I am fortunate enough to spend time with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I phase in and out of couchsurfing based on destinations and who I'm traveling with. I aways cherish the times when it all aligns and I get to have a wonderful exchange with such interesting people.

I do my best to spread the word and watch CS change the world for the better. We are all ambassadors to our countries and this platform.
