Hello! My name is Riley. Originally from Montana but have lived in Oregon for several years.

I’m a banjo player for the band National Park Radio and travel around the country playing music. Travel has been a big part of my life, and I have backpacked through over 13 countries! Now, getting to place music AND travel is a dream come true.

Currently, I am trying to establish myself in NW Arkansas. Ultimately, looking for an affordable room to rent or a safe place to park my camper van. But for now, I’m using couchsurfing as I try to settle into the area.

I’m super clean, respectful, and enjoy meeting and learning from new people across the globe! I appreciate any help you can offer me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m currently on Couchsurfing because I need a safe place to stay. I do have my van, but a huge part of me doesn’t want to be “that person” in the Walmart parking lot every night. Looking for help from locals so I can ground myself in Arkansas and have a home of my own soon.

I also love meeting other people, so that’s another reason I use Couchsurfing. I hope to “pay it forward” when I have the means to host someday.
