DONT HIT ME UP FOR A FREE PLACE TO STAY UNLESS WE SHARE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR PASSIONS IN LIFE OR YOU WANT SOME GUIDANCE IN THE CITY!
I love showing people around Detroit and going to electronic music shows. Dancing is my favorite thing, and the main way I like to express myself. I'm very athletic and active; I love moving my body in every way possible. I love riding bikes and going to the beach on Belle Isle... right now I'm living in Hamtramck with 2 of my best friends and working steady as a brick mason apprentice. Our house is very smalIf you want to hang out while you're here and share some wisdom/talk about life, I think you will enjoy your stay with us!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really passionate about Detroit and I would love to show you around if you're interested in what makes Detroit truly magical. The sense of community and DIY culture is great and I hope you are interested in the people and great grassroots projects going on in the city.
I'd like to meet more of the awesome people that I've hosted through our communities profile.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I'm really digging electronic music and classic rock. I really love stevie wonder and pink floyd!
Pretty picky with movies but generally anything before 2000 was at least acceptable. I do love Stanley kubrik and Quentin Tarantino so much though.
Strongly prefer documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked through Haleakala crater (a dormant volcano) on the island of Maui. The colors and erosion were breathtaking.
