I spent my youth hitchhiking around the United States and am now beginning to expand to travel the world. When I travel I like to do my best to experience a community rather than just see attractions.
I live in a walkable neighborhood in Albuquerque near the university and have a couch/floor I can share.
I am a good conversationalist. I enjoy punk music, good beer, reading, exploring.

**I don't think everyone reads the my home section so maybe it's more helpful to put a couple things here.
Last minute requests are the only thing that works for me-- please request less than 3 days in advance. I never know what I'm going to be up to in 2 weeks or a month.
If you or your travel partner (who doesn't have their own account) has less than 5 references, please link a social media account with the request.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is better when you're connecting with people and cultures. I want to provide somewhere for other travelers to stay when they are in my town. Capitalism should not dictate who gets to see the world.

Interests

I am super enthusiastic about life and love for every day to be an adventure. I tend to wake up ready to embrace the day and wear myself out by nightfall.
