Hi! I enjoy exchanging stories and experiencing, learning from other people, video games, biking, natural building, flying, solar & wind, and card games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love hearing people's stories, their travels, the things they've seen. Have you done a long distance motorcycle trip? A long journey solely by train? Have you been in a hot air balloon? Met some kind or crazy locals somewhere remote? I'm on here to find hosts for sure, but also even if people just want to message and exchange stories and experiences, my ears and inbox are wide open.

Also planning to move to Portland by the end of the year (fingers crossed)! Definitely looking to meet more people in the area :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cycled from Tokyo to Osaka on an old, heavy, rusty bicycle I got for $50. I didn't train a single day beforehand, and it had probably been about a year since I'd even been on a bike. My route was planned solely by hot springs I wanted to visit. I did the whole thing in jeans and boots, in the summer. My rear brake was out for half the trip, front one out for the last quarter, I'm directionally challenged, and always slept in leading to a lot of questionable night riding down mountains not being able to use the brakes, and once almost slamming head first into a bear. It was one of the best experiences of my entire life and I wouldn't change a thing about it.
