About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel, explore, and seek adventure.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel as do most of us on here. I like mountains more than being as sea level. I spent one winter in Central America hiking in the back country, exploring volcanoes, and staying with Indian families when not camping out and another year I spent the summer (winter in northern hemisphere) time period working in Antarctica for my second time. I like just about anything that has to do with the outdoors. I'm also into swing dancing, although I do go ballroom and Latin dancing every now and then as well.

I work as a master electrician on contract jobs. Between contracts I often travel for several months. Currently I average 2-4 months traveling every year.

PHILOSOPHY

Take advantage of life and actively pursue your goals. Anything can be possible if you work hard enough to achieve it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking forward to staying with locals in the places I travel to and learning more about the places I visit. I also anticipate making some long-term friends as I come across others with the same interests in travel and culture as I have. I look forward to returning the favor and loaning out my couch once I settle back into one place for a while.

Interests

I'm also an ultra-runner. I have run up to 73 miles in a race in Colorado. If you can point out any nice trail for me to run on in the area, that would be great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built a quenzee (cross between a snow cave and an igloo) and slept in it one night at the South Pole in temperatures -25F.

I can teach swing dancing and a few other types of dance.
I can tell someone what it's like to live at the South Pole.
