About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, become fluent in Spanish, see the world

ABOUT ME

I traveled the world last year on a research project following the game of baseball around the world. Now I'm back, working in a book store and preparing for the next adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone's trying to figure life out. Sit back, do the best you can, and let others do the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Over the course of 6 months last year, I was a professional nomad, bouncing around from the northeast to Arizona, and back up to my home in Bellingham, Washington. I've crashed everywhere, from suburbia to a straw-bale shack in Tucson, Arizona.
