Hello! I'm Reed and I'm from Ohio. I'm currently studying the Geosciences at Denison University, a small liberal arts college in the countryside. I live in Columbus with my girlfriend and our dogs, rabbits, birds, and mice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Yes to new friends, old couches, homemade food, and adventures. No to paying money!

Interests

I am in love with volcanoes. If you've seen one explosively erupting we must talk!! I enjoy taking care of animals (chicks, dogs, cats, my many snails, fish, etc!) I love learning new things about gardening, building, farming, and camping. Dancing, drawing, singing, and walking are a few of my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a semester off school and got on a plane to France with little to no plan. I ended up WWOOFING, meeting couchsurfers, buying a bike in Basque Country and riding through the Pyrenees with some new friends and Mousse the dog, and even somehow ended up in Australia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Energy, passion, (a few) recipes, stories, hopes, dreams, music! Maybe a few DIYs about homesteading. Always an ear for listening.
