"Meet me in outer space, we could spend the night, watch the earth come up"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Sometimes I feel the fear of the uncertainty stinging clear and I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer. It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague haunting mass appeal. Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel."

Interests

"Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why? Some are born, some men die, beneath one infinite sky. There'll be war, there'll be peace, but everything one day will cease. All the iron turned to rust, all the proud men turned to dust. And so all things time will mend, and so this song will end."

Teach, Learn, Share

"Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can?"

What I Can Share with Hosts

But seriously, I grew up a bit (or a lot) introverted and shy, and I've always stood in my own way when it came to accomplishing my goals and dreams. I paralyzed myself with self doubt and overthinking, feeling constantly judged by others when in fact it was mostly just in my head.

I was unhappy with my job, how it affected me, and generally where I was at in life. So I quit, sold my house, and hit the road in my newly converted Honda Fit camper to see all fifty states and hike all the national parks.

I play guitar and I'm an amateur photographer (aren't we all lol). I enjoy the ever changing colors of clouds throughout the day, the patterns of stars visible on the darkest nights, cool breezes on hot summer days, and (of course) long walks on white sandy beaches at sunset.

I'm looking for people to meet up and hang out with, and if you offered me a couch for the night I'd be much obliged (the car camper isn't exactly spacious lol).

Look me up on Facebook if you'd like to check out some photography from my travels thus far.
