Hi! I am a random nerd who loves traveling, adventuring, and IRL RPG shenanigans. If a plan goes down that sounds like something from a video game (minus the violence), I'm usually down for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After my epic life-changing walk from Detroit to Tampa, I decided I wanted to stay in touch with the traveling community and give back by hosting when I am able to. It's important for everybody to go on an adventure at least once in their lives.
