I’m in California now after a few months exploring Morocco and Spain. Last year I spent seven months on the road exploring the 48 lower United States. Now I've been to every one! (Alaska and Hawai'i soon I hope :) In the years before that I spent a few weeks exploring Germany and the Netherlands and the southwest U.S. and a few months bussing around Central America. I'm friendly, considerate, goofy, adventurous and a thinker. If you can share a laugh, have a deep conversation or seek excitement we’ll have fun together. I love conversations and activities that push the boundaries of what people know about themselves and the world.
Interested in Books & Literature

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I've stayed with many gracious hosts through my own network so I like to give back and host when I can. At home and away from home I love to meet travel enthusiasts to swap stories, tips and culture!

When it comes to making sure everyone's comfortable and fed, keeping a space tidy, coming up with fun ideas and provoking interesting conversations I can pull my weight and then some.
My Interests
You might find me--or join me?--reading, in an art gallery or museum, writing, savoring a meal, taking in vibes with a drink, grooving to some jams, exploring a garden, field or forest, in a mosh pit or doing something outdoorsy like caving, rock climbing, kayaking, swimming or hiking.
