My last "About Me" was written 6 years ago, and is (now deleted) proof of how much I've been forced to grow up over the last half a decade. Life happened and I like to say I'm older and better, but I'm probably just older.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm available to meet for coffee, drinks, hang out, and talk about astronauts, human rights and the brilliance of salsa cheese.

I've met a ton of amazing people through Couchsurfing and surfed while on my trip around Europe; I'd love to get back into things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most of the live gigs I've been to. Nothing better than getting lost in the music of your favorite bands and feeding off the energy (or, y'know, getting trampled in a moshpit).
