I am a recent college graduate and River Guide spending the summer traveling with my girlfriend before we have to go off and get career-type jobs! We're both from Boise, Idaho, and have come a long way to get out of our rural home. We spent the whole summer in the middle of the Idaho wilderness sleeping along river beaches without a cell signal. Aidan was selling ice cream and helping maintain a bed and breakfast, while I was guiding people down a 200 mile stretch of the river doing multi-day trips.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a river guide backpacking through Europe with my girlfriend. We're looking for opportunities to volunteer in exchange for places to stay, or to just make international friends.

Interests

I LOVE to cook! If I have the ingredients, there is a way! I would love to share recipes or work together to make tasty creations.

I have a written screenplay for a short-film I plan on making in the spring.

I also feel like I'm exploding with comic-book ideas that I truly believe are unique... I just need to get good enough at drawing to make them.

• comics
• camping
• hidden gems
• cemeteries
• whitewater
• scary stories
• untitled goose game
• secret treasure

Music, Movies, and Books

Cheesy horror movies are my fav genre, but a list of movies would be like this:
The Dark Knight, The Thing, The Mask, Monkey Bone, Cable Guy, Over the Hedge, Matrix (1-3), Evil Dead (1-3)... It seems that my appreciation reflects a sentimentality of the time I saw them.

I have been into all kinds of music throughout my life, but right now I am especially focused on EDM and IDM. I find dance music to be an exciting relief from the pressure of being into whatever "good music" is throughout college.

For books... I love to read and write short stories. A Good Man Is Hard To Find is an example: Odd stories about life in the southern USA through the 1950s

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two truths and a lie:
- I have been run over by a few different cars
- I have drowned and been resuscitated, later on coincidentally returning the favor by giving mouth to mouth resuscitation to the person who saved me
- I illegally got tattooed in Japan

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will cook, clean, paint, garden, help with Chemistry homework, anything really. I can also read your tarot or provide small illustrations of family members and pets.

If you have a dutch oven (or a normal oven), then I can make:
- Any cake!
- Lasagna
- Enchilada
- Veggie Roasts
I also love to cook curries, burgers, and veggie heavy salads.
