Im am adventure and adrenaline enthusiast. I grew up snow skiing, swimming, water skiing, playing school sports and playing in the Adirondacks. As of right now I live with my parents and they are unable to house anybody, but I really like the idea of couch surfing and will definitely provide shelter for any weary traveler when I move out. I just graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh with my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry and Environmental Science, and now I am going to continue my education at Clarkson in Environmental Engineering. I am low maintenance, and am only looking for a floor (or lawn) to sleep on. That being said, I am familiar with handy work around the house and carpentry work and am more than willing to help out with any work you have, especially if if are kind enough to provide me with a place to stay for the night.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend Isaac Hardy ( Who is SUNY Plattsburgh student studying environmental science and expeditionary studies) are riding our bicycles from Portsmouth New Hampshire to San Fransisco California this summer. We are prepared with camping gear and have tried to secure as many places as possible to stay through friends and family across the country. We are more than happy to sleep outside in our tent, and plan to do so most of the time. Originally we didn't intend to use couch surfing, but we decided that knocking on random doors asking people "Can we sleep in your lawn?" isn't the best way to go and that we should plan ahead on places to sleep in. We would love it if you could help us on our journey by providing a roof or lawn for us to sleep on.

Interests

I grew up snowskiing and wakeboarding in the south western Adirondacks. These homies have stayed with me. In college i picked up slacklining, climbing, running and bicycle riding. I love hearing stories, and learning about new areas. In recent travels i have been confined to the classic tours and resort, but I am excited to see the local's perspective , and what more the world has to offer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all music but thoroughly enjoy classic rock, alternative, and folk music. I am a sucker for superhero movies, but I love comedies. My favorite movie of all time is Out Cold. I don't read a lot, unless you count textbooks, but when I do I prefer science fiction and fantasy novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked all 46 adirondack high peaks in my four years at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope that this experience will open my eyes and provide a more broad prospective of the united states as well as the world. I hope that I will be able to provide the same learning experience to others on my journey.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could teach hosts how to water ski, and allow them the opportunity to swim and relax on the beach.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, France, Jamaica, Mexico, Turks and Caicos Islands
