About Me

I went to university in New Mexico and I have family there, my favorite part of the state is Santa Fe and Taos.
I'm a traveler because I enjoy new experiences, I couch surf because I love people.

I prefer traveling by bike on a never ending tour but backpacks are easy to take care of; and van life is awesome but I don't like being tied down to a continent.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think people are innately good and strive to return to a sort of harmony with nature. So one amazing thing I've done is surrender myself to the will of the universe and been all the better for it.

Teach, Learn, Share

My degree is in journalism and mass communication. I have a wealth of information on the following subjects: movies, piano, gaming, poker, snowboarding, eating healthy, bike touring.

I believe everyone has something to teach me so I try to look to most people as a teacher.

A roof, three squares a day, and I can play tour guide as long as I'm free.
