In 2015, I decided to take some time to travel and figure some life stuff out. I hitchhiked around the western USA with a backpack and a banjo for a few months, and I'm not done adventuring yet.

Now I'm embarking on a big European tour by the same methods.

I've never really been in a position to host, but I definitely will when I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A couch and a friend go a long way when you're traveling solo. For me traveling is more about meeting people and seeing how they live their lives than it is about seeing the sights, and everyone I've met via CS has been open and amenable warm and so fascinating.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2015 I hitchhiked from Chicago to Seattle to San Diego and back, a total of 61 rides and lots of miles.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully some neat conversation. If you like music, I/we could sing some songs.
