CURRENT MISSION

I'm road tripping with three buddies on a 12,000 mile trip around the U.S. and we have no pre-planned places to stay. We are polite and fun and appreciate any hospitality that comes our way!

ABOUT ME

We're taking a giant road trip around America this summer and are looking to meet as many cool people as possible. Me and Tyler are music students and try to stop in to as many independent record stores and guitar shops as possible. Max is a Film student who rock climbs at every stop possible. Lance is Max's brother, 18 and very chill/mature for his age.

PHILOSOPHY

Well something that all four of us agree on is that exploring new places and meeting new people is one of the things that makes life fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Max and I are roommates and when we settle back down in the Fall we'd be happy to share the wealth and our couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The closest any of us have ever come to couch surfing is living in Europe on the cheap in hostels, and on this trip asking people to camp in their back yards. In Villach, Austria last year we managed to communicate with the owner of a German speaking Chinese Restaurant using google translator, and we landed a spot for our tent in his garden.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The four of us climbed Half Dome in Yosemite a week ago, and that was really amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be down to teach someone some cool guitar licks. Tyler's a drummer and would be happy to do the same with drums. Max is eager to educate people about rock climbing and film, and Lance is willing to teach anyone some big words.
