CURRENT MISSION

Travel the country via freinght trains in search of seasoal/temporary work

ABOUT ME

I've been traveling the US for a few years now, mostly between Minnesota and California.
I like reading, playing bass guitar, and juggling!
I like collaborative cooking and making new things. I'm not really that good of a cook but I like doing it.

PHILOSOPHY

1. I don't want to judge you
2. I don't want my judgements to interfere with hospitable interactions
3. I don't want to convince you to think like me. You be you, for better or worse. I'll be me, for better or worse.
4. I must pick up hitchhikers if I am driving a car. If I'm not driving, my vote goes for stopping to pick the hitcher up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have met a few people from couch surfing. I like exchanging information and cooking. I also play a bass guitar! Drinking can be fun too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed on many couches in my time but I have had very little luck using this sight.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know lots of about railroad movement. I don't know everything but I know a thing or two!
