I strive to do things where in that moment, it's all that matters. I was recently climbing a wet rock in Amphitheater Lake in the Grand Tetons while barefoot when I really noticed this feeling. I was scared and excited and focused on only that and I forced myself to reach my goal. It was incredibly tricky but I figured it out and it was an amazing rush. Better than any drug. Just a little story about me :)

Started solo traveling in 2016 and have been to about 30 countries since then! Now I’m trekking 2,000+ while sustainably camping across the US to raise awareness and money for mental health causes and organizations. Looking for people to join me along the way :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love the adventure aspect. Hosted a bloke from England once 15 years ago through this site and he's my friend to this day. Awesome experience. The idea of what it's all about is exactly what I'm all about.

Interests

I love traveling, music, adventures, my friends and loved ones, dancing, parties, goofing off, camping, nature, meeting people and hearing their stories, MOTORCYCLES, tattoos, reading, weird art, and so much more. Let's meet and discuss!

I also absolutely adore animals. The kind of guy who saves insects that I find in my apartment. There are some exceptions of course.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a music and movie snob :)

Music: TOOL, NIN, Deftones, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Iggy Pop, Bicep, Four Tet. Rüfüs Du Sol, the list goes on and on and on. This is just what popped into my head right now.

Movies: Braveheart is my favorite movie of all time but this list is endless as well. Matrix is awesome. Star Wars is everything.

Books: Currently reading Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Amazing. Love nonfiction travel adventure stuff. I travel with one book at a time and when I finish it, I give it or trade it with a stranger wherever I am at the time.
