PHILOSOPHY

Be mindful of others, of surroundings, of the environment, and do what one can as an individual to make the world a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of my couch surfing experiences have been great so far. I have met some great people and I really like to get a local's perspective on the place they live. To me that is the best way to experience an area.

Interests

I enjoy nerdy pursuits, hiking, crappy movies, camping, canoeing, cross country skiing, history, biking, and having long discussions and arguments with people among other things.
