Hi there, I’m Reed! I’m all about great vibes and new adventures, whether it’s catching live music, hitting up local bars, or just finding cool spots to hang out. I absolutely love wandering through new cities, or even discovering hidden gems where I live. Super laid-back, and I tend to adapt to the energy and lifestyle of whoever I’m with. I'm happily married—my wife, Ruby, is amazing, and if you’re lucky, you might get to meet her! Oh, and we’ve got a very friendly dog who’s always up for making new friends.

PHILOSOPHY
Treat people the way you’d want to be treated. Simple as that.

OUTLOOK
Create your own adventures, and seek out the untold stories. One love, one life—let’s make the most of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It started back when I first bike toured in 2016. I would bike through many towns and wonder, "how can I meet new people and REALLY get a sense of this town?" It was hard to get to know people in grocery stores and gas stations, because they aren't really set up for that type of interaction. Couchsurfing enables me to do what I'm passionate about and meet new people along the way!

Interests

Basically, my interests revolve around most sports and the arts. In the past few years, my biggest hobby has been cycling. I generally like to go on hour-or-so long rides and enjoy company when I do! I have a Strava profile, feel free to connect there as well.

Also, I'm a big concert guy. I deeply enjoy live performances of music and drama.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading, but there's never enough time in life to read as much as I want to... I like to read both non-fiction and fiction, but in fiction I usually stick to science fiction. Non-fiction varies wildly.

Diverse music tastes. Basically anything. I'll watch any movie worth it's salt.
