I finally have a place of my own, so I'm trying to give back to this community! Just a heads up, I live with a lovely 9 year old Aussie Healer mix named Lou. I'm technically allergic to dogs so I keep him and my place clean.

I like to challenge my comforts and face my fears to try and understand why they exist. One of the best ways to do this for me is traveling.

I live a very fast paced and busy life. Outdoors and meditation are where I find my peace.

My partying days are over. I get along better with people who's focus is not going out to the bars. There's much more to do with the little time we have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Bringing fresh experiences and helping my fellow travelers in anyway possible. I have local trail maps, and lots of knowledge of my city, and I've done multiple day hikes around the United States that I would love to share about. I love accomodating people who are brave enough to be who they really are or those who are just setting off on that adventure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really do love all types of music but am really into Thom Yorke and Mac Miller currently. Mr. Gnome has been getting repeated as well as Hiss Golden Messenger lately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Copenhagen: made a bike from scraps in a junk yard, got introduced to dumpster diving, then rode with a pack of 5 of the coolest Danish people ever through Denmark and into Sweden for 5 days. I camped out in a tent I had found on a campsite in the Netherlands a couple of days before (left behind because of an extreme storm). I went 5 days without spending anything! It's hard to explain but it was an extremely liberating feeling and made me rethink my whole "plan" for life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Have studied meditation to the where I am comfortable giving beginning instructions.
