I ended up in Western Massachusetts for school, I graduated from UMass in 2012 with a BS in Kinesiology. Since then I've been hanging out in the area and travelling occasionally. In May, my lease ended. I bought a van and have been hanging out in that since. I stayed to finish the season working for a bike shop, but now am free to travel. Just looking to enjoy the great outdoors with great people.

I'm not very good at being serious

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted several people and stayed with a couple people in my travels and it has always led to great experiences. I enjoy showing people what I appreciate about the area I live in and find that it's the best way to travel as well.

Interests

pretty much just looking to mountain bike, hike, be outside, meet people and enjoy some good beer n food at this point
