Why I'm on Couchsurfing
This summer I'm solo bike touring across the country. VA beach to San Fransisco. I want to meet people that can show me the coolest local places that aren't ruined by tourists and also have some awesome experiences with. I'll share a belay or help with chores around the house if you'll take me on an adventure!
Music, Movies, and Books
I have a top five in no order aside from the first: Into the Wild, Moonrise Kingdom, Blood Diamond, It's a Wonderful Life, Secret Life of Walter Mitty Books: Monkey Wrench Gang, Into the Wild. Almost all music? I really like alternative, rock and bluegrass/folk Irish gypsy stuff

My Interests
Anything outdoorsy, right now I really enjoy climbing and biking but I also love backpacking, caving, rafting, and other similar adventures. I like veggie food, some art, music, learning guitar, taco bell, documentaries, hugs, little things, turtles, wearing jackets, and meeting awesome people. Oh, and of course travel!! I really want to get into paragliding but it's expensive...
