CURRENT MISSION

Making money for the next trip.

ONGOING MISSION

Collecting life experience in hopes that it one day makes me wise.

ABOUT ME

I work excess amounts of overtime for part of the year, and then travel the rest.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe we live in a world of abundance and that we should all be able to enjoy a life of permanent leisure. Imagine how rich our world would be if no one had to worry about money.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It brings out the best in humans.

Interests

Work-life balance. Scuba diving. Motorcycling. Minimalism. Stealth camping. Live music. Non-Violent Communication. Unobstructed views. Taking the scenic route. Campfires. Film. Film making. Queering the terrain. Your favorite light snack.

I'm a sociologist and have a strong interest in people and power structures. Intersectional feminism is the only feminism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a motorcycle class then flew to Santiago, Chile, bought my first motorcycle and rode to Ushuaia, Patagonia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a divemaster and can teach you about scuba and the ocean. I'm also a former freestyle wrestling champ trying to learn BJJ and boxing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make a good side kick. Pretty chill. Strong navigation skills. Can wrestle. Will remove your stitches. Have been known to whip out a salami and cheese platter when you least expect it, like on top of a volcano or in the middle of the desert.
