About Me

Like many of those that are CouchSurfung, I have succumbed to the mindset of wanderlust. Since my excursion throughout Europe I have had a biting interest to continue traveling. I am continuing to do so on my native soil.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

WHAT ARE MY TRAVEL PLANS

As of now I am hanging around my native state of Nevada and camping wherever the BLM allows. I'm patiently waiting for the day I travel to Australia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a cool Canadian, two hip Hungarians, a dynamite Dane, two tough Texans, a rad Romanian, a neat North Carolinan, and a vigorous Virginian.

Interests

Reading literature, poetry, philosophy, and history.
Listening to wide genres of music.
Adventuring outdoors and cities.
I also like to relax while enjoying a good drink.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaking in the Alaskan wilderness while not being torn apart by a certain curious grizzly bear.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are all informal teachers and students; if our conversations connect that means the process of learning is transpiring.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations on a wide variety of topics, and of course a cooked dinner.
