Hello all, I'm a 24 year old who can't get enough out of traveling. I was born in North Carolina but spend a fair amount of my time in California. I am a certified auto mechanic and work primarily on neue class BMWs and old British sports cars. I have been traveling for the past year and some change and can't get enough of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet people, see places I've never seen before, experience the extraordinary and broaden my horizons. I would love to host but unfortunately I do not have a permanent residence at this time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently I've been listening to a lot of folk, folk punk, and down tempo music. I'm a true metal head at heart but I can listen and will listen to just about anything. (So long as it isn't the radios pop, rock, or "country" station....yuck)

I'm all about travel, adventure and motorcycle books. Especially if all of those are combined into one.
I think I've read everything by Kurt Vonnegut Harry Potter of course
LOTR
Ray Bradbury
Hemingway
Uhhhhhh now I'm drawing a blank of course

I like shitty movies.
Good movies.
Silly movies.
Monty Python
British TV has taken over my life lately
Sunshine
Irreversible
Children of Men
The Bourne Trilogy
Skate videos, especially Spike Jonze.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've watched the sunrise over the top of Machu Picchu after hiking 3 days to get there. Watching the sun burn off the clouds at 5 in the morning while being the first person that day to see it, is a memory that will be forever etched in my memory.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach:
The basic of auto/motorcycle mechanics and maintenance.
How to be a cheap ass
Skateboarding

Share:
Will gladly share my time to do, see, listen or experience anything. I'm always game to do whatever the occasion presents. I am very accustomed to sharing my mechanical knowledge in a time of need.
