I'm a fun loving, optimistic, musically driven, young man with a newly acquired wander lust. I've spent so much of my time working since high school that I really missed out on traveling in the years afterwards. Now that I've learned the amazing opportunities that you can have while traveling, I am itching to go out and experience what the world has the offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I knew someone who used this site to travel and she had friends all over the country because of it. She also knew great local spots and how to navigate like a local because of her experiences traveling alone. I was inspired by this person and I hope to be able to meet people, share experiences, learn as much as I can, and grow through interactions based around kindness and without transactions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won a property management award in May of 2017. I was one of 17 people selected and I accepted the award in front of 40,000 people. I'm still in awe and it was a humbling experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I think I spent most of my life closed off to people and I'm learning now that I don't have to be that way. In the last few months, I have really opened up. I spent a lot of my life being bullied by family and peers and have grown up extremely independent because of it.

I can cook an assortment of plant based and vegetarian dishes which I like to share.

"May you find the house hospitable,
well-used,
stocked with sufficient goods.
I'll settle with your leavings,

as you have settled for mine,
before startling back into the darkness
that marks each of us so differently"

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and I enjoy cooking with friends and family in the kitchen. I also have a knack for fixing things on a very basic level. I'm also really good at not only cleaning up after myself but after other people. I'm also up for stargazing, shoegazing, vinyl playing, or as an ear. I also will play with your dog and pet your cat. If you have anything you need help with, you can always ask.
