I'm a young emerging artist and my lifestyle reflects this. I am the supervisor for the metal shop and foundry at the university I graduated from. I play soccer a couple nights a week and build, repair, and retrofit bicycles as my second job. I do a lot of free lance work, building things for clients and other artists. I enjoy meeting other artists of all types and am always down to work on a collaboration. I love being active and being outside. I ride my bike just about 20 miles a day and try to go hiking and camping as much as possible. Being in nature and exploring new territories is what I try to do often. I have a very busy schedule and on the rare occasions I have a day to myself, I try to relax with a movie or book.

A little courtesy goes a long way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the world, but lack of funds makes this hard, couchsurfing makes it more feasible. Meeting new people and experiencing different cultures is necessary to be a open-minded and non-judgmental individual which is what I strive to be. I love learning new things and an always game for a spontaneous adventure. Being able to meet people from all walks of life and all corners of the world and share lifestyles, ideas, and conversations is beneficial for all involved.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I build bicycle frames from scratch and play with molten bronze.

I rescued both of my cats (brother and sister) when they were abandoned on the streets at 3 weeks old, got them surgery and they live happily with me now.

Teach, Learn, Share

These all go hand-in-hand

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a polite, courteous, and respectful guest. I will treat you and your home the way I would like mine to be treated. I have no problem helping around the house, cleaning and doing dishes, etc.
