PLEASE READ!
New to couchsurfing.com, but not new to the lifestyle! I know references go a long way with reassurance that I'd be a good guest, but if a lil faith in my good word means anything, then I hope that can carry some weight too! Everyone needs to start somewhere and We just need a chance!

anyway, about me :)

vegan, cyclist and runner, super chill and super down to make dinner for new friends. Just exploring the world one country at a time! I like to think I can make the best of any type of situation, anywhere from getting lost in the woods to making an awesome impromptu bed in the back of our wagon in the snowy mountains of Tahoe forest. Our lil guy is 7, shy but extremely good at being comfortable in new environments and having fun in just about any scenario.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because I'd rather meet cool people than get stuck in some hotel where we can't interact with people! I'm a communications major and I love talking, getting to know, and doing anything and everything with new people! I'm new to CS website but nowhere near being inexperienced. have toured America playing music and am very used to staying at random places. have had nothing but good experiences and fun times. would love to hopefully meet you!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any and all music. I've played everything from classical guitar to heavy metal. Currently listening to a lot of vessels, ryan adams, atmosphere, katchafire, and anything that just makes me wanna groove. been loving the european electronic scene, although big fan of house and trance over super fast psy-trance... but still like it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think everything in life is amazing... even the bad. Everything is a lesson in one way or another. To narrow down to one specific thing is hard, but I would say the most recent amazing thing I've done watch the sunrise riding my bike up mt. ventoux... beautiful lonely mountain that I'll never forget. the outdoors are amazing and something to not be taken for granted. I recently went to Israel and was extremely humbled by the experience of being somewhere as old as Jerusalem. lets watch a sunrise together!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to think of myself as a coffee aficionado :) I love sharing my knowledge for coffee, and am currently working on my beer game (I want to open my own beer cafe once im done with my studies here in europe). I was a bicycle mechanic for 7 years, I played in bands for over ten years, and I like to think of myself as well versed in life up to this point so far...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can fix your bike (if you have the tools), I can cook super good vegan food (especially burritos), I know how to make a good cup of coffee and I can talk to anyone about anything :)
