Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent five months traveling in a camper last summer and met a few couchsurfers along the way that were nice enough to hang out, lend me a shower, what have you. Great experience.

Interests

People in general, art, snowboarding, old stuff like cameras and accordions and cars and anything else that probably has an interesting history, laughing, shooting pool, beers, food, travel obviously, tattoos, concerts, hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, anything I haven't tried before, bikes, making jewelry, weird musical instruments, suspenders, cowboy boots, learning new stuff, and re-learning stuff I've forgotten somewhere along the way

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ek Balam ruins in Mexico. Broke free from a very corporate lifestyle and changed my perspective on everything.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know how much I have to teach, but I believe in sharing anything you can to better the whole. I work with metals and sketch a lot. I like trading books. At this point I'm really skilled at sewing patches in ripped jeans so I can help out with that, too.
