ABOUT ME

Back home in the US of A after a few short months of travel, I'm happy to be back and ready to settle down for a while. For now I'll be working, snowboarding, and biking. In the future I hope to work on providing food and medical supplies to areas and peoples in need.

PHILOSOPHY

I intend on bridging (directly and indirectly) as many peoples and cultures as humanly capable.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in Germany with a great group of Berliners and was really happy with their hospitality.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I raced a black bear in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada three years ago. The bear was minding its own business, standing in the middle of A- line (a fast downhill bike trail) when I come whizzing around the corner and scared it to the side of the trail. To my surprise it began running alongside me for almost 70 feet. A few split seconds riding next to a bear on a big mountain under the shade of huge pine trees was definitely a once- in- a- lifetime experience.
