CURRENT MISSION

First-time real-lifer

ABOUT ME

26 years old, and I am an observational being. I like to see how things work, and this tends to make me a bit quiet at times. I'm happy to share what I've seen though! I am constantly in awe of this world and every new situation that it presents me with. I grew up in a small town that I love, but I know there's so much more out there to see and great people to meet. I'd love to share where I've been and experience the places that are special to others.

PHILOSOPHY

We can live in harmony with our World by trying to understand it better, and knowing that we still have much to learn from it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Our house has hosted surfers in the past, I haven't been traveling in a while though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This guy Rooster showed up one day and shared all sorts of stories about the South and people helping him along his way around a bonfire in our yard.

Interests

The best part about life is all the projects that give you an escape from daily life. I've been building my own hiking backpack over the past 5 years. I've played the saxophone for more than half my life, and would rather bike somewhere than drive. I wish there were better phrases than "out-side" or "out-doors", the World should not be so removed from where we call home.
