I live in my own tiny house, camp often, have a positive attitude, a great sense of humor(so I like to think) also I'm very, very clean and orderly.

Grew up on a small family-run livestock farm, so I'm very used to hard work and love being outdoors. By trade I'm a welder and machinist which I LOVE. Aside from farming myself out for welding repair and fab, I've worked as a boatyard welder, machinist, carpenter, tileworker, and completed trade school somewhere in there.

Currently hitchhiking through Norway for the summer so get @me with those adventures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In case there aren't any woods to sleep in, and for finding wonderful new fraaands of course!

Interests

I enjoy building things, riding motorcycles, working on motorcycles, drawing, reading, occasional vidya games and building shelters in the woods. I'm a great cook and a decent baker. I enjoy taking my motor/pedal bikes on camping adventures. To me nothing beats a riverside campfire with old and new friends, good food and maybe some good brews too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once baked a cake in a beach campfire late at night while using cardboard to hide from the bureaucrats.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was raised by a foodie and a farmer so I might've picked up a thing or two. I'm a welder, builder, fixer, and handyman. I may have one or two funny stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a metalworker by trade and I grew up on a farm doing field work and carpentry, so I don't shy away from labor. I can weed your garden, fix your door, tell you dumb jokes, fabricate and repair heavy equipment, tell more dumb jokes...
