ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm embarking on a cross-country road trip with my dog, Maxy. Through the WWOOF program, we're staying at various rural organic farms for 2-3 weeks at a time and couchsurfing in/around cities in between.

DISCLAIMER: While I love cats, Maxy can't be trusted around them :'(

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thus far I've have had nothing but amazing experiences with informative, intelligent, and generous people. I love that this site helps us focus on the community aspect of traveling, instead of individualistic tourism.

Interests

I love the outdoors and exploring in general. Interests include playing, making, & discovering music, eating, playing futbol, drinking, reading, loving, traveling, gaining different perspectives & information, trying new things, some casual gaming, art & art critique, breathing, tattoos, coffee... talk to me about the demise of higher education and capitalism \m/
