Hi! I'm a 20 year old college student who has been hitching/adventuring around North & South America for the past 5 years. I have a passion for traveling and opening my eyes to new experiences; meeting people from all walks of life and learning about culutres/subcultures is what I'm about! I do not come from a wealthy background so I try to make ends meet by doing odd jobs while on and off the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I may not have much money, I love to travel to explore nature and cultures. I joined because it seems like a fun and reliable means of meeting new people while traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've jumped out of a plane. Seems common nowadays but at the time, for me it meant overcoming my biggest phobia. I had struggled with this fear since I was a kid. I slowly built up to it by surpassing stairs ( yes those used to scare me), elevators, rollercoasters, and cliff diving. After this experience, whenever I'm faced with a dificult choice, I always remind myself that I jumped out of a FUCKING PLANE and usually that gets me over my hesitation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been raised up helping my dad pretty much rebuild our home. We had bought a really rough old house and through trial and error, turned it into a humble abode that we are proud of. To this day we still do all sorts of repairs. In the same manner, I've taken care of cars, lawns , and electronics.

I can offer any handyman services which you may need or want. Also, I've trained myself in other skills like cooking, graphic design, pet training, etc... Depending on where I am on my journey I may also be able to leave you small gifts or money as gestures of appreciation.

If all else fails, I can offer you a good story.
