Hmm. What do I say here? To start, I'm awful at filling out "About Me" sections on web profiles. I am an environmentally-conscious old soul nearing the end of his twenties, and just earned my B.S. in Environmental Studies from CSU Sacramento. I work for Sacramento County, and spend my free time traveling, hiking, playing music, geocaching, and enjoying food and drinks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but most importantly I love to meet new people and find myself in unique situations. That's how adventures and friendships happen! I embrace spontaneity and community, and this network is the perfect place for that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canyoneering in Costa Rica, repelling down waterfalls in the rainforest. That was pretty amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of my experiences, a keen sense of humor, bad puns, and deep discussions on the meaning of life (or lack thereof). If traveling with an instrument, I'd be happy to play and sing a song or several. I like to think I'm a good guest, and am quiet and respectful and clean up after myself.
