Hey there! I am an energetic, open minded human who enjoys meeting people and consuming moderate to large amounts of alcohol with them. I like to hike, bicycle, go on pleasant country drives, or hit up the big city to go see something weird and I recently became the proud owner of a 3 person canoe so that's something.

I seek humor in things to the extent that it may put myself in danger, but if there is a chance that I or someone else can experience joy it's worth it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to find friendly places to visit and connect with people who I can someday host when I don't live with my parents.

Interests

I am down for whatever, but I can definitely take you for a hike or drive around in some neato spots. If you play any instruments I have a geetar and a mandolin so we can jam and I make good coffee, but I have cream if you need it.

• coffee
• walking
• philosophy
• bikes

• being insufferable

Music, Movies, and Books

The Courage to Be - Paul Tillich
The Golden Compass,
Most things by Bishop John Shelby Spong

Music by the artist(s) Oketo, AJJ, The Front Bottoms, but I digress

Movies such as Electrick Children, Mr. Nobody, Inception, Wings of Desire, and I tore up Game of Thrones recently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked for a month in Europe with a lovely lady.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some chords to play and trails to walk or how to make a latte

I would love to learn some new phrases, particularly in Spanish so I can talk to my grandma and her sister, but I would also be down for Dutch, German, French, or an American regional dialect.

Do you like pancakes?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Also, I am always happy to bring reading material, pitch in for (or make!) dinner or anything that is needed.
