Modern day nomad trying to live life on the road. I am currently planning a large trip, but will be living in Reno until about June 2017. If you happen to be passing through, feel free to send me a message and maybe I can host.

My next trip is going to be my last big adventure before I begin to settle down. I've got some big plans for my life, and it's coming to the point where I need to lay some roots. Feel free to ask me about my plans, or offer any advice on traveling!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on a journey to see as much of the world as I can, and I would feel very limited sleeping in my car or hotel rooms on my trip.

Interests

Public education, reading, writing, book binding, art, poverty, class relations, spirituality, and pretty much anything anyone can have a compelling conversation about.

Music, Movies, and Books

Blink-182 will always have a place in my heart, but I'm in no way limited to pop punk. I'm currently getting into the artists Grimes and Yeasayer. Favorite books of all time include A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and Speaker for the Dead from the Enderverse.

One book I am reading now is Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It's taking me a little longer than usual because I feel like I need to stop and process after every chapter. But in the mean time I have a short list of Podcasts that I'm working through.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A summer storm followed me through this 3 mile long valley in Southern Colorado. I had mountain peaks in front of me, and a curtain of rain and thunder following closely behind. I've lived through my fair share of storms, but this one was the most memorable. I'm not completely sure why still, but I know I will never forget it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many passions in life, and the simplest way to summarize them is The Human Experience. I love meeting people and hearing new stories. I have many thoughts on many aspects of the world I see, which I put out through my blog (oooscaroo.wordpress.com)

I also have many tricks I've picked up on my travels. I'm an avid YouTube DIYer and I love trying new things. If you're interested, I love learning new things, or teaching what I know to anyone who is interested.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've got some wonderful stories that I've collected over the years, and my favorite pass time is trading these with others. I also have some experience as a professional house cleaner and janitor if that's what gets me a couch for the night. I am a people person, and I'm taking this time in my life to explore as much as I can before I find a place to settle down and do work.
