Mississippi is where I grew up but I but moved to California for skateboarding around age 18. After that Southern California was my home base for the better half of a decade before moving to NYC. There was a lot of traveling and working in between but now I'm traveling while working remotely.

What I miss most when traveling is not being able to brew my own beer, make soap, kimchi, etc... I enjoy a lot of diy projects where the end result doesn't come for a month or so. It would be pretty difficult to travel around the world with brewing equipment, me thinks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here to meet interesting people and hopefully stay connected with them. My hope is that I make a great friend with every couchsurfing experience.

I let people crash at my place and crash with fellow surfer's who are generous enough to host me. I'm also keen to just meet up and show people around.
