I grew up in small town Prescott, WI. I am active, engaging in sports of all kinds, basketball being my favorite. I also like to do all sorts of exercising, including hiking, swimming, yoga, and interval training. I travel as often as possible. I love the experience of being in a situation that is compeletely new to me. I have found no better way to improve myself as a person and increase my knowledge of the world and understanding of the people living in it with me than traveling. I have been meditating for five years now. I dropped out of college after two years, as I was unsure what I wanted to major in. I have been saving money and traveling since. I think I'm pretty easy going and just do my best to be happy with what I have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, and the people I meet traveling are the best type of people. I know that anyone who is willing to allow a fellow traveler into their home is one I would be happy to meet. I enjoying meeting locals of any place I travel to and learning what they have to teach me about their area. Every new encounter teaches me something about life, and I like that. Saving the money of a hostel or AirBnB also helps, allowing me to extend my travels, and is always appreciated. I do not require anything fancy and simply want a place to lay my head down at night, which makes couchsurfing a perfect opportunity for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all kinds of music, from The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and The Eagles, to Kendrick Lamar, Kid Cudi, Kanye West, to George Strait, Alan Jackson, to Jack Johnson and John Mayer. I like it all.
I do a lot of reading, and across all genres. I love adventure/fantasy books including Harry Potter, LOTR, and The Kingkiller Chronicles. I also enjoy reading Neuroscience and Psychology. As well as historic nonfiction and autobiographies.
I do not watch as much TV as I used to, although I still enjoy it, I try to spend my time in other ways, but I am a sucker for 90's kids comedies with Chris Farley or Jim Carrey, or no-speakies with Charlie Chaplin. I also love any move that makes me think, such as Interstellar, Inception, and oldies like 12 Angry Men or It's a Wonderful Life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a 50 day road trip around the United States with three friends. One car, 50 days, four guys, and one hell of an adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share knowledge of the places I have visited. I can share laughs and a good natured personality. I can share the opportunity to stay with me when I return to America. I'm happy to share any knowledge I may have, this is what couchsurfing is all about.
