About Me

I'm a traveling college student from Southern California, USA. I'm also an instrument rated airplane pilot, musician and extreme sports enthusiast. This fall I am taking French classes through my university in Collonges, France, over by Geneva. I am occasionally traveling around Europe when I can find some time and cheap flights. All I need is a soft place to put my sleeping bag! I will also have my harmonica along to play you a song or jam with you, and I play guitar and sing! I am happy to help do chores, cook, give you a slideshow of mountain adventures or walk your dog for you! I am clean and quiet and want to meet some nice new people! I believe that kindness is the key in life!

I am a mountaineer and rock climber, but my passion is backcountry skiing! I also mountain bike, road bike and kiteboard!

In return, as soon as I get a house in Washington state next summer, I will be a very active host! I also will have a camper van hopefully so I should be able to house a good amount of people and show you around! I promise I will give back! My dream is to get a Sprinter van and build it into a sweet adventure camping machine so I can explore the incredible Northwest USA.

Fun fact, I have see. U2, Mumford and Sons and Jack Johnson in concert each two times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to get the cheapest transportation I can while squeezing in the most countries, which often means staying in cities for only a day or two - couchsurfing can help me get the most out of my short stays and help me make friends all around!
