About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wish to explore all that this world has to offer. I am a lover of all forms of art and of life in general. I am here to enjoy every moment of life and hope to enrich others lives along the way.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Northern California. I've traveled to most of the 50 states as well to as Canada, Mexico, and several European countries.
I love meeting new people of all walks of life and believe we can learn much from each other.
I've played guitar from 10 years and have a passion for all mediums of art and self expression!

PHILOSOPHY

This was the saying of a friend of mine who died of liver cancer at the age of 19.
"SHIT HAPPENS"
So when things happen you didn't foresee, just go with the flow and know everything happens for a reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Always offering a couch to any in need. I have recruited several travelers from all over the world into couchsurfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I lived on a friend's couch in Chico, California for one summer. Had some of the most ridiculous and intense experiences of my life.
Couchsurfed through Switzerland and met some of the most amazing people I ever have. Besides that countless others have helped me plan my travels through the couchsurfing groups.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took national gold at the SkillsUSA 2016 Engineering Design and Technology competition.

Teach, Learn, Share

When traveling in the US, try to eat organic. Fast food monopolizes the culinary market of the US. If you stick to the right markets and restaurants you should be able to save a penny and eat quite healthy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking Skills
Humor (or at least I think so)
Travelling Stories
Intelligent and sometimes childish conversation

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
