CURRENT MISSION

"The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greather joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

ABOUT ME

Probably my worst fault is impatience. I hate wasting time and thrive on new experiences. On following whims. Love to roam. Explore. Be outdoors. Meet people and share stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Still trying to figure it all out. Just don't want to waste a single day of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Brand new to this couch surfing thing, although friends of mine have been involved for a while. I'd offer a couch, but I'll be on the road for a while myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I let some bum raft guide live with me in Montana this summer. Contrary to what everyone told me, it was a great decision!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been adventure racing for two years and recently completed my first expedition race, an event called Primal Quest. It was the greatest challenge and most humbling thing I've ever done. Tramping around for 7 non-stop days on swollen, blistered feet. Hungry and sleep-deprived. Up mountains, down rivers and into some of the deepest caverns of human fortitude.

Teach, Learn, Share

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither;
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
-J.R.R. Tolkien
