About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see everything in North America

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going mechanic, very passionate about cars and fixing them. I live and travel out of my van, usually in Portland, Oregon, or Austin, Texas but often other places as well. I am very easy to get along with and love meeting new people. I travel by car a lot and participate in Rideshares and RideJoy to meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will always work out if you just let it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have used CouchSurfing a little, hoping to more so I can meet new and awesome people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far extremely positive.

Interests

My interests are cars, traveling, and longboarding. I love exploring new places. I love helping people, and very often pick up hitchhikers and people from RideShares and RideJoy to join my adventures, but I am also lucky to have a few good friends who are always up for an adventure. And we have had some serious adventures! From the far North to the Southwest Deserts. Vancamping is my preferred method of traveling, and when I come to a new city CS is always great!

I like doing anything outdoors. Hiking, biking, swimming, racing longboards, exploring cities, anything outside!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Alaska Highway is one of the most amazing things I have done. It's an incredible drive with scenery that will leave you breathless. I have had a very full life, and there are way too many things to post here.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking mechanics to anyone that will listen (and sometimes when they don't, and I am just talking to myself!) I like teaching people how to do basic maintenance, how to shop for used cars, how to change tires and anything else they are interested in learning!
I also love longboarding and exploring cities that way, as well as teaching people how to ride.
I spend most of my time outside, living out of my van a lot and working outside. I love camping and being outdoors more than being indoors.
