About Me

Learn, travel, race. That's my three priorities, and almost every decision is made around them.

I've been dabbling with travel since highschool, starting off with taking an old worn out kawi to Sturgis. Broke down, in the middle of nowhwere as the sun sets, is where I got the bug. I got towed into town by and Australian chap on a bmw, and I saw with my own eyes that long distance long term travel on a motorcycle was a real thing. Not just something people make movies about. Since then i've done a 2 month solo trip in north america, backpack in europe while renting a couple different bikes, and have been exploring the boundaries between dirbiking and camping taking several day trips with a ruck sack on a race bike.

Next on my list is more small trips within north america, with my next major trip being south america

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Pay it forward, and giving back. Between my limited travelling and racing, I've been lucky enough to be invited in, given a place to work on my motorcycle, and even help working on it. Those experiences were the most memorable parts of my trip, and I'd like to help someone else travel in return.
