I am currently bicycling across America with my friend Mike. The highlight of our trip so far have been the people we've met, and I'd love to meet more locals along the way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to experience the places I travel, not just see them. It seems to me that short of having a friend already present in the destination you are travelling, couch surfing is the best way to experience any new place.

I'm also a pretty social guy and love meeting new people.

Interests

I'm happiest when I'm busy and on the move.
