Hello! I'm a pretty simple guy from Vermont, USA. I like to hike, bike, dance and paint. I've been to SE Asia and traveled all over the US. I'm a bit of a quiet observer but it takes little to spark a fiery conversation once I'm comfortable. 22, naive, ready to learn more about the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for more intimate connections and experiences with down-to-earth people. Far too often the hostel experience has not been for me and hotels are out of my price range.
