Resumen
Sobre mí
I'm just trying to figure out more of this wild planet we live on. Travel tends to gimme a little more info on that. Hitchhiking, train hopping, planes, boats, rickshaws, motorbikes, walking, everything. I like to find every avenue to get me to a destination; always meeting incredible people along the way. I'm 23 and am currently traveling through New Zealand. I think I'm a pretty positive person and love to listen and indulge in other cultures. Whether through broken-language conversations, playing football on a trash-covered beach in Cambodia, or chatting with Vietcong soldiers over some rice wine. Life is impressive, and I'm trying to learn as much from the beautiful people that inhabit it.
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
Besides obviously saving money on accommodation, I've found this community to be a wonderful resource, and the people I've met and stayed with taught me so much more than a regular ol' hostel. Learning the insider tips; where to eat at, what to see and do, what to be cautious about, and the storytelling! I've made great friends here, and hope to share more and more about life and our adventures :D

Algo increíble que he hecho
Hitchhiking from San Francisco to Vancouver, BC last March. Always intrigued me, so I packed my bag, and a tent, grabbed a cardboard sign that said "North", and stuck out my thumb. Easily one of the most humbling adventures I've ever done. Made me really learn to trust and realize that people are truly inherently good.
Buying a super beat-up motorcycle in Hanoi, Vietnam and driving for over a month through the entire country before selling it in Ho Chi Minh city (close to 3400 miles) That was pretty darn swell. Unbelievable. I certainly recommend it to anyone who gets the chance.
Helpful tip: let the busses do whatever they want, and watch out for the dogs!
Two summers ago a road trip was taken across the US and back. Seeing a couple music festivals in Tennessee and then in Delaware. The funkiest, craziest, weirdest exploration of my own country. Probably one of my favorite things. So many wonderful memories. And so much highway fast food.... never again haha.
Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones
I can make some solid breakfast. Well, it's actually pretty basic, but I think it's tasty. I can share my modest company and hope that a story or two of mine might instill some sort of entertainment or knowledge from my travels. I can give you a place to stay and all the info on the best craft beer if you come to California!
