Originally from the Central Coast of California, I'm currently driving around the country solo for the second time! I play drums and guitar, I love all aspects of music. I love traveling, meeting people, learning about other cultures and having new experiences. Staying open minded is very important to me and I consider myself a pretty positive individual.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, learn from experiences and spread positivity!

Interests

Traveling, I love being on the road and even more now that I have a truck to sleep in if I need to. My last roadtrip was in a Volvo sedan that wasn't as comfortable for sleeping. My favorite place of all is probably Big Sur, I really enjoy it there.

Music, I play drums and guitar, been a drummer for longer but have been focusing on improving my guitar skills recently. Seeing live music is something I do any chance I get, house shows, bars, festivals, street performers, I love it all. I'm also constantly listening to music and finding new artists I love, I'm into just about anything besides most top 40 and pop country.

Food, Love it! I enjoy all cuisines. I'm a pescatarian for the most part, meaning I only eat fish when it comes to meat, but I do occasionally eat meat if it is locally raised, gras fed, free range type meat. I really just don't support factory farms, but don't worry I never bring it up unless asked, I never tell people how to live their lives.
