I graduated college from UC Santa Barbara this summer and moved back to San Francisco to work the corporate life. It took me about one day on the job to realize that I needed to get out and see the world. I've done a fair amount of traveling, but no one in their early 20's should spend their days staring at a computer if they don't absolutely have to. So, I did the only reasonable thing I could do and quit my job to travel to New Zealand. I tried to get a one way ticket, but apparently the government wants you to leave at some point. I plan on backpacking around with my buddies for the first month and then looking for seasonal work during the remainder of my stay. However, what I'm really looking for are cool experiences, incredible stories, and lifelong connections. Whether we're romping through the mud or grooving to some sweet local music, as long as we're in good company then the fun will follow. Nothing makes me happier than a successful day of exploration with friends both new and old.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Superficially, to save money. Existentially, to meet some of the most interesting, accepting, and thoughtful people this world has to offer.

Interests

Anything and everything. I love hiking, action sports, regular sports, beer, wine, dancing, bars, clubs, getting weird, relaxing, outer space, animals, stories, spiritual journeys, laughter, puns, food, gambling, video games, writing, art, standing, sitting, cruising, meeting new people, spontaneous excursions, etc. The list goes on, but my point is that I'm interested in just about everything depending on the circumstances.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Almost everything, but I tend to focus on indie, rock, jazz, hip hop, and all forms of house music (when it comes to getting down).
Movies: Airplane, Requiem for a Dream, and everything in between.
Books: To be completely honest, I am not much of a reader. I know it's ignorant of me, but I plan on changing that during my travels when I don't have modern technology to constantly distract me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been born…That was pretty wild!

Teach, Learn, Share

I plan on learning everything I can from those who host me. I will be like a sponge in the ocean. In terms of teaching, I've got some pretty killer dance moves and something to give back in any situation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I offer the following: a low maintenance roommate (will clean, walk your dog, your cat, even your plants), a confidant, a party ambassador, a good time and friendship.
