I am a straight speaker. very honest, loyal, and adventurous. when I find things that interest me I take an all-in attitude toward them. love to meet new people and am not shy. more of a last minute and spontaneous type than a planner or scheduler. I take a lot of risks and have had some weird jobs. hitchhiking has and will continue to be a big part of my life. breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, though I don't always eat it.

PHILOSOPHY

make sure you're doing life and it's not the other way around.
we should go the extra mile for each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to make friends with other explorers so I have lots of people to go visit and lots of people have me to come visit.

unfortunately my living situation often leaves me unable to host. but shoot me a message and I'll help if I can.

Interests

Really like roadtripping with friends and spending time on the water. Into tattoos and in the last three years I've been doing them myself.

I also like some comic books...
