Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends, learn your story, and get the inside scoop on all things local while saving a penny or two. Hopefully one day I'll be on the receiving end of these hosting requests and offer up my couch! Good Karma!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music? I am on every end of the music spectrum... From American top 40 - to Indie coffeehouse radio. From Taylor Swift to my heavy metal workout playlist. From The Arctic Monkeys to Luke Bryan. From a random underground band to the most popular rap artist in the game.

Books? I am a sucker for anything and everything Tim Ferris writes. That man is a genius...

As for Movies, I am currently in love with La La Land, Lion, all things Quinten Tarantino, Nocturnal Animals, and Moonlight - basically any movie mentioned in the 2017 Oscars.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built a bed in my tiny 2010 Honda Fit to make traveling cheaper, and more accessible. Slept in my car under the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco California, on a foggy Canon Beach in Oregon, in the quaint town of Waterton Lakes in Alberta Canada, a drunken slumber in Lake Tahoe California, and the countless national parks, rest stops, and Walmart parking lots in between.... Ask me how much I love that car

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: I have heard some incredible stories during my short life. From strangers on a New York subway to coffee shop employees to neighbors on a park bench. Everyone has a story to tell. Cant wait to share mine with you.

Learn: Passionate about growing and expanding my knowledge. If you have a skill to teach, a dance move you've mastered, or a history lesson to share - I'm your guy!

Teach: Although I am no specialist in any field, I'd love to share my wisdom with you in anyway possible. Perhaps you are learning English and need a pen pal, I can help! Maybe you want to learn how to make latte art, I can show you! New to photography? Lets shoot together! The possibilities are endless.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am quite, polite, and respectful. I realize that you are opening your home to a stranger and will treat you with kindness while humbly thankful.

At the same time, I am a professional fun-haver, experience seeker, and life junkie. I love turning the most mundane days into the most exciting adventures.
