I am in awe of the world - I am dedicated to exploring it as thoroughly as I can. I'm the kind of person that would rather drive 10 hours than fly 2 hours; I like seeing everything in-between even more than I like getting to the destination.

If you like telling stories we'll be friends - I like listening.

Don't be afraid to get deep: I'll talk history, politics, religion, your life, my life, the meaning of life. I bond over beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like making friends.

Let me take you around my city. Let's make some food; if you have a cool recipe I'll buy the ingredients. Tell me about all the other cool places you've been.

As far as my house and my life goes, the more the merrier. Come visit!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have an entirely separate room in you can stay in. I have 2 couches, but I don't have one in the separate room yet.

I do have an air mattress. Over time I will be acquiring more cozy stuff for my extra room. Stay posted.

Otherwise, I can share my time, show you around my city, and introduce you to some other authentic humans.
