Overview
About Me
I am a recent college graduate looking for opportunities to travel cost effectively and make friends around the world!
Interests
I love listening to and playing music, especially music from different cultures! I play the guitar, mandolin, banjo, and melodica and am not afraid to sing badly. I'm also a huge video game and sci-fi/fantasy nerd, so if you want to debate about transhumanism or discuss the history of Middle Earth, I'm your guy.
Additionally, I love the outdoors and camping/backpacking. My long term goal is to hike the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and Te Araroa.

Music, Movies, and Books
Absolutely love LOTR and all manner of Tolkien works. Also love the Dune series. I've recently been reading some historical fiction (ie, The Revenant) and investigative journalism type books. Im also a big fan ofTom Wolfe.
As far as music goes, I'm really into post-rock and Appalachian folk music/bluegrass. Top artists are Cloud Cult, Sigur Ros, Avett Brothers, Okkervil River, and Tallest Man On Earth.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I drove across the entire United States and back again, camping out under the stars the whole way. We hiked the Grand Canyon and visited almost every state in the continental US!
Hiked the West Highland Way in Scotland! Absolutely 10/10.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love music and, if you have an instrument or two, I will play along with you! I truly believe that you can learn so much about a culture and a people just from the songs they sing. Im not a pro, but I am willing to share what I can!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am willing to put in my fair share around the house. Let me help out with meal prep and clean-up! Need some wood split? Got a dog that needs a walk?? I want to make my stay as pleasant for you as it will surely be for me! In camping, there is a "leave no trace" policy; I want to treat your home the same way!
Countries I’ve Visited
Canada, Iceland, United Kingdom
