I'm an easy going fella, I don't pick fights and I usually have something to ask you about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Keep smalltown life diverse.

Interests

Man oh man, well recently I've been studying folklore and folk music, which is something i want to seek out more while traveling.
Getting out and hiking or camping keeps me in a good headplace too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well how about some experiences that gave me perspective: When I was twelve I went to Greater Mexico City and then Greater Guatemala City with my father to video-document the poverty in the villages and the education of the youth there; I visited the more rural and poorer towns of Indiana after suffering catastrophic tornado damage in 2012.
Went on a Southwest roadtrip with a best friend through reservations and many nat'l parks, being tested by the heat and desolation of the desert.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have stories to tell and songs to sing. If you want to hear them I'll share. Likewise I want to hear your stories and as much local-know as I deserve to hear.
And I can cook and work and much more.

What I Can Share with Hosts
