About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I would like to eventually travel to every country on the globe.

ABOUT ME
I am a very laid back guy that is very much interested in travel and meeting new people of all walks of life. I currently live in South Lake Tahoe, and have been "stuck" in paradise here for the last 12 years. It is a great place to have as a home base, but I love to get away from here whenever I can. I am a boat captain here on the lake in the summer, and a snowboard instructor in the winter. I like to get away every spring and fall. Eat, sleep, work, save, travel, repeat :)

PHILOSOPHY

Treat those how you wish to be treated.

Getting lost is a great way to find yourself.

It is amazing how some of the smallest things in life can prevent some of the biggest things from happenning, don't sweat the small stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host whenever I could. I have hosted some very interesting and wonderful people in my home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted quite a few people before I actually stayed on my first couch. It was a great way to get involved, and meet like minded travelers/people. All of the couches that I have stayed on have been amazing! I think that couch surfing is one of the best things that I have ever been introduce to as far as traveling goes.

Interests

I enjoy Snowboarding, hiking, swimming, boating, surfing, rock climbing, good food and good wine, a good Run, and just generally having a good time with life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, Basically just about any music except country and western, haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have sailed a boat from Isla Mujeres to New Orleans across the Gulf of Mexico. Honestly, I have done quite a few amazing things with my life, but I am a typical man and I can't remember any of it, ha ha.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like couch surfing because it offers a little insight on where you are, or allows insight to be brought to you. I have been places in the past and really hadn't BEEN there, felt it, tasted it, smelt it, Experienced it. I didn't realize this until I stayed on my first couch. It allows you to learn things that you would have otherwise passed by or not noticed.

Countries I’ve Visited

India, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Costa Rica, United States
