About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To host any good fellow traveling in need of a couch :)

ABOUT ME

Hey! Im Ty, Im 24 and Excited to meet some great people, see some new places, and get some good photography and sketching in. I enjoy easy conversation and am a total romantic at heart(sometime to the point of cliche, no judging! haha). I have a degree in Architecture, but have taken the past few years off specifically to travel the us and internationally. My friends would describe me as passionate about the things I care for (travel and meeting new people being one of them).

PHILOSOPHY

Live life! Seek the things you want!
